(?) More on: Bad Sectors

From Fadel on Sat, 06 Feb 1999

(?) Dear sir,

I have bad sectors in my HDD about 35 sectors, so I can't use it, how can I use it agine? Note: My HDD is 3.2 GB and I use windows 98

yours,
Fadel

(!) Too Bad. If Windows '98 can't work around the bad sectors you'll just after to repace the drive or replace your OS. If the first sector on your track zero is one of the bad ones then the drive is useless.
Why are you sending this to me, anyway. Call your drive's manufacturer or your retailer!
