Partition unerringly on the Bad Sectors of Hard disk

Hi,

Its not wise to make a partition on the bad sector hard drive. It will create so many complications for you, that you will be unable to perform any task on your system. 

However, if you are still interested in using such a hard drive, you should create partitions such that the bad sectors are not included. You can do this by first scanning your HDD for bad sectors and then noting down the sector numbers which are damaged. While making partitions, exclude those sectors.

Its not a permanent solution, sooner or later your HDD will be dead, and your data will be lost.  You need to change your HDD as soon as possible.

Regards,

Bob

The wisest solution is to avoid those bad sectors. Perform a scan of your hard drive, identify the bad sectors and when making the partition exclude them from it. Also consider changing soon you HDD, as it surely won’t serve you for a long time from now on.
