Hi, I would like to know: if a hard disk died with a couple of bad sectors, what is the best way to repair it??
I use badblocks, mkfs and fsck. Are there any other methods?? Also, when I mount this dead harddisk, the kernel sometimes will pop up some messages like: hda: irq request timeout. Error code 0x5f hda: ide reset ok. There are heaps of them. I cannot remember them all. Is this hard disk still usable??
