ohh,
no man i have removed bad sector from about more then 15 hard disks and they are all right and they work completely it also remove bad sector from sector 0 and from boot area i have tested it and it works try youw self 2 it will work.
Reagrds,
Haseeb

its impossible to remove a bad sector... bad secorts are things like scratches on the surface of the disk make by the read/write head... those heads are razor sharp, and with disks spinning at 7200 rpm, if you give thse disk a good knock, it does some damage...

anyways, the software you pointed out simply maps around the bad sectors. effectivly shrnking the total disk capacity.

Usually the MARK of BAD Sectors means you should change your Hard-drive. If your HDD is under warranty, its recommended you get it exchanged.

Long back, When I used to work in DOS, Running Fdisk command over and over while doing format used to remove the bad sectors.

I think the confusion here is that the software doesn't "erase" bad sectors but disables them from the hard drive so the hard drive doesn't know that it is there.

xboxrulz

Exactly, It seems the only confused one was the OP. He seems not not understand that a bad sector is a physical fault within the drive.
