Answer» Hi!
I have 2TB disk which was in use and later was by mistake initialized and I needed to RECOVER data. I recovered data, with errors and it looks it has bad sectors - but it can be only problem of partition table or filesystem. I want to ask if is possible after disk wipe, REPARTITIONING and formatting to get it work without any problems? Disk physically never failed, but currently some disk checkers reporting bad blocks.
Really don't know what to do with... can anybody help me?
Thank you all. Mirowhy continue to use a known unreliable unit. hard drives are something you want as much trust in as possible, not store your data on a drive that has already let you down. plus they are so cheap these days.Most of the time, if you do a FULL format or a hard drive and then use a program like Disk Checkup to check the health of the drive and run some tests, you are PROBABLY OK. If you are going to be using this drive for critical data storage, or using it for hosting an operating system, I recommend purchasing a new drive. If what you are going to be putting on there is VERY important, just buy a new one. If you are going to be using it a secondary drive in a computer for something like cloud saved games, or a steam library, or something of lower value, then yeah, by all means if it passes the tests after the FULL format, then you're good to go.
Here is the LINK to Disk Checkup: https://www.passmark.com/products/diskcheckup.htmand ALSO check its SMART values. they aren't 100% reliable but they are indicative.I know that there I will never store important data. I want to use it for storage data from other drives lower capacity which I hadn't where to store and are only like old resources or how to name them.
So, your all answers are useful and thank you. Miro
