You sure about that? If if it is so, I think we should still make sure it doesn't have any bad sectors. <br /><br />I think if you suspect there is bad sectors, why don't you just perform scandisk instead? <br /><br />But, full format is used to recover the bad sectors is new to me. I kind of doubt that. I don't think bad sectors can be recovered. Once it is damage, it is damage.ChampDoghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15551303930099640011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5428338331056318336.post-85250998965754336142009-05-11T23:21:00.000+08:002009-05-11T23:21:00.000+08:00for a new purchased hard disk, it is not necessary to do full format. coz new hard disk hardly will have problem.<br /><br />for me, i will only do a for format when i suspect there is bad sectors on the hard drive to let the file system to skip that bad sectored track.<br /><br />anyway, although the bad sector is covered, but there will be more bad sectors appear after 1 months later. so when u see there is bad sectors, just replace the hard disk. <br /><br />other word to say, the full format is just for you to cover the bad sectors only.<br /><br />so better change the hard drive if u see bad sector lar, :)Garfieldhttp://garfield.in/noreply@blogger.com
