Fixing HDD Bad Sector

When important data on your hard drive has been successfully saved, the next step is to overcome or fix bad sector hard drive there. While not all bad sectors can be improved (especially if it's why physical damage), to bad sectors that light, we can overcome with one of the following ways:

• Scan Disk Using the default Windows tools. To drive in addition to the operating system (eg drive D:, E: etc.), we can just right-click the driver via Windows Explorer> Properties and from the Tools tab, the Error-checking click Check Now ..
• Other than through the Windows Explorer we can also directly through the command prompt (DOS) memalui command ChkDsk /R X: (please replace the X with the drive that you want to fix / check if there are bad sectors it).
• Full format of the drive (remember, when a full format, then the data in it will be lost and may not be in recovery again), either through windows or by software such as Easeus Partition Master. With software such as EASEUS process faster
• When the Scandisk or Full format also can not remove bad sectors, we can use the Low Level Format (effect data will not be in recovery again). Low level format with this software can only be for a single hard disk, not per drive, so that the entire contents of hard drives will be in the "putihkan" aka really dikosongi again.
• Using the software "advanced" DOS-based, such as Active Kill Disk, HDAT2, DiskWipe, MHDD and so on. For those not familiar with disk problems, may need to guide the more familiar use of such software.
• Using the software maker built the hard drive. Can be checked directly on the website such as hard drive makers Seagate, Western Digital, Maxtor, Hitachi, Samsung and others.

In this way, two PCs are my important data service successful in recovery. For a desktop computer hard drive, with a full format of plain bad sectors can be lost, while untul notebook hard drive, due to bad sectors seem quite severe and very much, finally not be repaired anymore, so it must be replace with a new hard drive.
When some ways above the hard drive still remains defective or there are bad sectors, the possibility of hard drive damage is severe (could be damage to the surface / physical), and it seems like it should be replace with a new hard drive. Hopefully the above tips can help some who are experiencing problems or bad sectors as additional information for us, if any input, questions about this issue please be submitted via the comments or direct email.

Secure the data on the HDD

One of the biggest challenges when hard drives (there are bad sectors) is to save data or documents therein. Moreover, typically users rarely perform data backups to other media such as CDs or DVDs. To facilitate the rescue process (recovery) of existing data on the hard drive, plug the hard drive on another computer. Provided the hard disk is still detected, the possibility of data recovery can still be performed.

When the disk is mounted on another computer and it is detected, use recovery software that we can get on the internet. A good one is Easeus Data Recovery Wizard. With this software I was able to save data from the hard drive is already quite severe. Other software that we can use is MiniTool Data Recovery Wizard.

If no other computer or laptop, can we try to save the data through a medium such as a bootable CD / USB (Live CD) which contains a utility or program that can be used to check and rescue (recovery) data. Today many that we can use, such as Ultimate Boot CD, UBCD4Win, System RescueCD, Wondershare Live CD, Mini PE, Ubuntu Linux CDs and the like.
If the hard drive no longer detected when installed on another computer, then the recovery process is not an easy job. Because the possibility of having to open the hard drive and requires skill and special equipment. I myself have never been to such a recovery.
