I now unfortunately have a half working half not working samsung spinpoint f3 500gb but after doing some research and lots of check disk and hd tune....i found that most of the bad sectors are at the start of the hdd (first 80gb o.O
It sucks as the drive was such a reliable drive only yesterday but basically i want to try format the hdd so i can leave the area of bad sectors as "raw" or "unallocated" format and use the good part of the drive..
