Hi guys, is there anyone can tell me how to repair the
bad block of harddisk? My laptop which runs WinXP Pro SP1
currently experiences such problem as the hard-disk often
stops responding, quite annoying! Is there any command I
can use except format.exe ? Thanks

SpinRite is an excellent program in maintaining hard drives.
