I have a Maxtor 500GB Sata II 5400 HDD
I'm sorry for the long description and thank you in advance for your helps.

Yesterday, when I was transferring a file to another directory, accidentally the screen gone blue and system restarted. When it was starting up again, another blue screen appeared which was showing that a hardware problem occurred and I need to remove newly installed hardware. But I didn't installed any new hardware for 2 years!

I attached another hdd as primary to boot up the system and I found that C drive of the corrupted hdd is unreachable but other drives work fine. I detached the new hdd and used "HDD Regenerator" boot disk to fix the corrupted drive.

On 1.5%, it notified that "HDD is Not Ready" but found and repaired more than 260 bad sectors and stuck on 3% and didn't go further. I tried for several of times and I formatted C drive using a rescue disk and C drive turned to known, then checked it again using HDD Regenerator, but the result was the same.

When I attached the new hdd again, I found that this time H drive of the corrupted hdd is unrechable! So I detached the corrupted hdd. Now I don't know what to do with it.

I thought maybe the heads are stuck on the platter, but how other drives are working then?!
Now I don't know if I should continue with fixing C drive's bad sectors or do anything else. I'm afraid if fixing bad sectors made H drive unreachable and if continuing with fixing them may corrupt other drives.
What should I do to fix this hdd?
