Hi everyone,

I have a Samsung SATA SP0812C 80G that has a bad sectors. I checked with MHDD is on a few block at front only has a bad sectors but after i "ERASE" it from sector 0 until end of sector with MHDD the HDD is becoming bad sector from sector 0 to end of it. Please help me how to fix this. when i "ERASE" again the drive still running on 50000 - 60000 kb/sec. But if i check again a whole part still bad sector. Many thanks for help.

Drive need to be serviced. Are you sure it is not ATA LOCKED and you get ! Not bad X ?

Thanks BlackST. It's not lock By ATA Password but sure it's bad with xxx marks. How could this happen? Can i fix this with MHDD? i'm using MHDD 4.6. First it's only a few of block that has a bad sectors at the front, but after i "ERASE" the sector to the end, i check the drive full of bad sectors. Please help. Thanks.

No. It's beyond your possibilities with 'free' tools.

O boy... what your suggestion?

Where are you located? I can suggest you a pro in your area that can fix the drive for a reasonable price.

If the data on the drive has no value, why not just spend the $50 to replace it?

There are things you can't buy... for everything else, MASTERCARD.

Hard drive can read and hard drive can write, so they call heads
read/write heads.

In your case appears as if your samsung can read but writing is BAD.
Like your drive has a broken leg, or possibly the nerves to one leg
are in need of a doctor or the brain is not talking nicely to the one leg.

I think one leg is broken, just a little, like a fracture so it cannot write
very nicely.

If you need the data, walk on one leg and just do reading.
If you want two good legs, buy a new hard drive.

@derp... are you really sure ?!?

@dimaz : I have the know how to fix your drive (if there is no physical problem, anyway) - but I am thousand miles away. If you post your location maybe we can suggest a pro near you that can fix it for few bucks.
If this last option doesn't suit your needs... well, nothing else to say.

just format it within your O/S the sectors will be mapped out ... Simples!
