good day.!
I am having problem with my Hitachi HDD..Every time i format it, the format session will not complete because of bad sectors on it.Is there any other way to bypass/repair this bad sectors via a bootable dos base software or in any other way.?
Thank you for giving time.
Hello,
Try using chkdsk at command prompt. Try typing chkdsk volume:/r were volume is the drive letter, the /r should scan for bad sectors and fix them.
- Let us know how it goes.
thank you for the response.!
I cant even use the cdrom to format it. I am using my usb stick(windows xp usb stick edition) for formatting. but it stops right there. If i use the chkdsk /r which would i start please..
I can boot any dos base software on my usb but i dont know whats the best dos base software to repair bad sectors.
Thnak you for your time & help guys
