That doesn't remove bad sectors. Get a clue on what they are.
You can't delete / remove bad sectors, they're faults on your hardware. How on earth is a format going to remove that?
The only thing you can do is add an extra table on your File System Table which specifies which sectors are bad, so that they aren't used. And pray to god that it doesn't spread.
Once you have a few bad sectors, you can be sure that your disk won't live to see another five years.

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.

the thing about computers, is they tend to round things off....

6.000001 gigabytes 5.99999 gigabytes is all the same 6 gig as far as windows98 is concerned.

Bad Sectors.
How To Remove Bad Sectors Or Bad Clusters From HDD

Well there are two types of bad sectors
1) soft badsectors
2) mechanical badsectors

Soft badsectors can be fixed by running your hard-drive's manufacturer's HD diagnostic utility it will simply replace your badsectors with extra sectors in spare, or it will write 0 on all your HD sectors which will remove bad sectors.

2) if your HD got mechanical badsectors then you cant fix it and all you can do is to take it to company and claim warranty..

Gladiator_us has been talkin abt soft badsectors while lhunath has been talkin abt mechanical badsectors ..

How To Remove Bad Sectors Or Bad Clusters From HDD
hi everybody, I have hdd 40gb, it's not formated. When I have to. there's a bad cluster warning , from my software I use partition magic, what solution for me? thanks. I wait your feedback

If it's your only disk, you can also boot on a ms-dos floppy and format your drive, or let the Windows or the Linux installer format the drive, this will also remove the bad cluster error.

Just defragment the drive and the boot sectors allocation will be verified
just check out the properties of the drive you want to defragment

There is only one bad sector...The soft bad sector you said is called ERROR..Error can be fix by scandisk and defragmenting...Bad sector are created..If your computer has not shutdown praperly and creating an error. Error is one of cousing badsector..Only the company of your hard drive has the ability to fix badsector on your drive by replacing the disk inside it!^^ .

It is a lot of money but the last straw is when my “backup” died within a few days of the original. Just one of those personal lessons that I decided to never live through again. The other reason is I like the idea of an offsite backup. If someone breaks into my house and steals my computer (good Lord help them because it is a 50 pound custom case that I made myself) they will certainly take all of the goodies attached to it. This would include the backup drive. Second example would be a fire that would also destroy the backup drive directly next to the computer.
