Hi
Have a hdd which has suddenly developed bad sectors/clusters.
Currently I cannot boot to windows so I booted to the command prompt and
ran
a surface scan dos utility with the auto fix switch.
This surface scan dos utility has been running day and night for 4 days
and
has 1200+ bad clusters.
What I want to know is whether the bad clusters it is marking as bad
clusters will be permanetely marked as such; i.e. the hdd will know not to
use this space again even if I try to restore an image of the partition?
Don't waste your time...
install a new HD!!!!
