Storage Solutions How to Repair/Fix 'LOGICAL BAD SECTORS' of HDDs.

[HoliC]

Hi..

So how do I fix LOgical bad sectors ???

I just have ONE logical bad sector in my HDD.

Its not a physical bad sector... I would have easily remapped it.

I have used

Hard Disk Sentinel - 1 bad sector found during self test[ 'no action needed' - message] + 99% health and 100% performance.

HDD Regenerator - Full complete scan and repair - 0 bad sectors found.

HD tune - warnings..

Chkdsk in win 7 x32

HDD health.

Spinrite

Zero write with WD data diagnostics.

These all scans took about 12 -15 hrs approx each.

Using it with VX450 so no power problems.. and also no temp problems..

The drive is 1 year old WD green and its Empty . NO data at all.. Was Defragmenting it regularly during usage..

So how do i fix this logical bad sector ???

or should I start using it ignoring that logical bad sector.. ??

Is the sector unaccessible because of the OS ??

TIA.
