- I have problems with my harddisk: It kepps making bad sectors! After it had
- some 30 bad sectors about six months ago, i sent it in, they did a low-level-
- format and it was ok. But now it gets bad sectors again! It is a IDE-Harddrive
- MICROSCIENCE 7100-20 with 120 mb capacity.
- I called in to the technician and was told that the errors tend to come
- more often with age and number of low-level-formats.
-
- What should I do???? Calibrate and Speedstor 5.2 are available, but should I
- use them?? Anybody having the same problems???
-
- Thanx! Daniel
