i have a 3TB hdd that have "reallocate sector" ,"pending sector" ,"uncorrectable sector" warning
and i want to format to reuse that disk (to store unimportant data)
(i read from an website that says write full zero to hdd can reallocate the pending and uncorrectable sector,so i want to use windows format function to do that)
but the problem is the capacity is large so the format process may take long,
so i think maybe during the format process, if there is any problem , i would have to reformat the whole drive again,
to avoid that ,i intend to split the hdd into many partitions, each partition size about 100gb and format one by one (if there is any problem,i only have to reformat that partition)
but i 'm not sure splitting the hdd into partition and format one by one like that would cause any problem
(in comparing with format the whole drive)
