Neznam cemu toliki strah od „LOW LEVEL FARMAT“ Ako imate Hdd koji je vec nacet sa bad sektorima, zasto ne pokusati da se nesto uradi sa njim, jer taj hard je na neki nacin vec „otpisan“ Pa tim Low Level Format ce ga povratiti u zivot na neko vreme ili ce ga trajno odvesti u vecna lovista. Mislim sve ovo ima smisla ako se ima HDD kojem je istekla garancija, a nebiste da ga se odreknete tek tako.
U prilog ovome cu da navedem moj slucaj. Dosao sam u posed Hdd MAXTOR (sata) 160Gb, na kojem je prijavljeno 11Mb bad sektora. Drugar od koga sam ga uzeo, uspeo da izvuce negde oko 80Gb cistog prostora u 3 particije, slucajnim biranjem delova diska . Ja nisam hteo da se na tome zavrsi, pa sam resio da idem na sve ili nista
Krenem na Low Level Format, mada sam i ja moram priznati bio skeptican po tom pitanju. I prvo prijatno iznenadjenje je bilo sto je format odradjen brzo, za nekih sat vremena sto se vidi iz prilozenog log fajla , a ja ocekivao da gura celu noc.

E sad je drugo pitanje, sta se desilo sa tim bad sektorima? Da li su oni fizicki eliminisani ili su samo zamaskirani? U svakom slucaju nije se nista strasno desilo sa hardom, bar do sada. Ovih dana cu ga forsirati i maltretirati na razne nacine, da vidim koliko ce moci da iznese do ponovne pojave bad sektora.
