Hi
I have a Seagate 40G Hard Disk. Bought before 3 years. I tried formatting the disk using
>FORMAT C:
command. During formatting, it reported that the disk has some bad sectors. Thereafter, it took a very long,only to terminate formatting abrupttly at 71% jus saying 'format terminated'.
I Tried it again. It stopped evern sooner. I tried to a FDISK and then try formatting again. This time, it did not even start the FDISK operation.
Should i have to forget the disk, once for all?
You can try to do low level format, if this won't work, you can try with 3rd party software / tool like free partition manager to achieve this. However, this is not 100% guaranteed, but increase its working capacity.
