it is very difficult(nearly impossible) to remove bad sectors from hard drive.
But there are certain mechanisms through which we can derive our ata.
the bad sectors is in of the partition of the hard drive.
first thorough firmat the drive in whick bad secotors are and then nstal operating system in other drive and access the data.
this will really work.

Hi Hung,

You can download a killdisk utility and hv it run on that hard drive making it as external drive
it will write the blocks on the hard drive which will allow u to block the bad sectors as unsable and placing your MBR on the following used sectors

Toshiba external hard drive not detected

Hello,

This is Rathish from India. I bought both my laptop and my external drive in UK. I am using Windows 7 Home. I bought that hard drive after 18 months. when I plugged in my HDD it's not showing up d icon of the HDD. This one happens after connecting into my cousin's computer. Actually, Toshiba HDD's will turn into white color from Blue when it's plugged into a computer, but in my case, it still glows in Blue, so I don't know what is the exact problem of it. Can anyone help me to get rid of this one?

Thanks!

Hello, I have a Toshiba Canvio Basic 1TB external hard drive. I'm an aspiring game developer/artist and I have several years' worth of work on it.

Today, the hard drive suddenly just stopped working. It was working just fine this morning, but when I plug it in now, it is completely undetectable. File manager, device manager, nor hard disk partitioner can find it.

Interestingly, when the hard drive DID work, it had a blue light that always flashed when my PC was on.
