Removing bad sectors

Hi @ThEncanted,

Sorry to say this, but if it’s true

Replace that harddrive!

And quickly.

AFAIK, “Removing” the bad sectors doesn’t really remove them, it just hides them and make them unusable.

Which is a really bad idea, because out of sight, out of mind, and the chances that you forget about it are that much greater and can cause you data loss.
