Hard disc prob
Had me hard disc go tango uniform on me today, managed to get in using rescue disk, couldn't save my stuff so formated it.. .Format ran surface scan and marked six sectors as bad, also corrected prob with disk space being reported incorrectly.. . I loaded windows on the formated disc, but it kept hanging, got it installed eventualy but now it seems to be running very slowly.. .Various utilites don't seem to work such as the browse function in instal new hardware.. .I was wondering if I format the disk again will the bad sectors still be marked or will it run through the surface scan again.. .Its a 15 gig IBM deskstar, never had a pick of bother with it before.
