Bad Sector of HDD

s
Sometimes, old hard disk got a lot of bad sectors inside. However this does not means that we just throw away the hdd. We still can use it as a backup storage. The first thing you have to do is format the hdd using Low Level Format to quarantine the bad sector area so that data will never write there.

Low Level Format Tool will clear partitions, MBR, and every bit of user data. The data cannot be recovered after using this utility. The program utilizes Ultra-DMA transfers when possible.

A lof of freeware software can be found today. See example here.
