repair HDD

by Jo0f • 5 May 2011, 20:34 • Journals
Yo!

Apparantly my harddisk is having some difficulties doing what its supposed to do - instead of working it keeps generating bad sectors and i dont know what other shit.. causing it to boot in captain slow-mode or not at all.

Anyhow I'm looking for some proper HDD repair tools thatll fix the bad sectors. I've ran chkdsk numerous times but thats just not doing it.

Cheers!

Ps,. I cba reinstalling windows as this hdd and installation is just 3 weeks old ;<

had the same with a dieing wd hdd, here is what i did:

- boot into linux, did that with a live cd
- mount broken hdd and mount another hdd to copy files over
- copy teh shit to the working hdd/external hdd/w/e
- unmount external hdd and unplug
- remove partitions from your broken disk
- create new partitions
- do some testings 'hdparm -tT' or such
- ????
- PROFIT!

did the trick for me. my hdd got very loud and very slow, just had the time to copy my data over. after creating the new partitions everything was fine again.

Did you just run chkdsk or with /f /r ? :{

back up while you can and buy a new one. chkdsk fixes file system errors, not hard drives.

'HDDregenerator' can fix that problem but for a while only.
Its time to buy a new one

Go to the Maxtor or Western Digital website and download their HDD program and run it.. and obviously backup your stuff onto another drive.

Same thing happened me a while ago.. and i still havent replaced it.
