BAD SECTOR | HARD DRIVE

BAD SECTOR

I have an old notebook that was damaged due to hard drive is no longer running. I'm assuming it's because of bad sector.  And I'm googling and found the symptoms of bad sectors was as follows:

• No response

Some commands read or write there is no response (hang)

• Difficulty reading

The difficulty is characterized by the need to head to read a particular area several times (retry) before finally read it. Processes such as head movement when reading bad sectors, only after several successful head read

• You can format it but can not read

Sometimes a local hard disk can be formatted and reported the existence of bad sectors, but when the header of hard drive read, it will be difficult to read.

• Bad sectors temporally

Sector were reported damaged by software and the platter is physically damaged

•  Permanent bad sector

Sector who are physically disabled reported damaged.

• There is no buzzing sound

The motor is not working properly, sometimes can not start sometimes die after a while.

• Disc or Platter

Platter hard drive is damaged, it can be caused by a severe stroke and head across the platter.

• 1 PCB electronic components

There's disruption could result in board disruption.

• Head

Damage to the head can cause the hard drive-not accessible at all, usually head can not move because it was blocked plate.


And my notebook is homed. Cuz I have a new one :D
