Hello,
what are scenarios on what can happen when you
A) read from sector that is suspected to be bad (is within SMART's "Current pending sector count")
B) write to the above mentioned sector
I just did non-quick format of the drive in MS Windows, took several hours and these pending sectors was marked bad (offline uncorrectable), but im curious if full format is needed, if i can just use drive and what will be errors in MS Windows when i try to read/write to such pending sectors.
Are there any tools (which exactly) that can be much quicker (than full format) to find pending sectors and try to read or write to them in order to get them reallocated?
Thx
