Hello, All! 1. Is there a separate low-level formatting program? broom (the kind that used to be sewn into the BIOS)? 2.

The screw, modern, cannot format itself in principle. AA> Is the broom okay? Rewriting bad sectors or remap with a format command (for example HDD Speed program, but certainly not the ancient BIOS!) allows you to get rid of bad sectors. If it doesn’t allow it, it’s in the trash, because there are a lot of “bads” out there thousands all over the disk. It is also possible with the help of special programs like PC3000 change the internal geometry of the drive so that damaged surfaces (or heads) or tracks were not used, then The drive will work, but will lose capacity.
