ewtAttn: Geeks.
If a hard drive works alright in electronic terms but has bad sectors, specifically about 17 of them at the end of the disk, is there a way to fix it? Or are they junk?
These are Seagate Barracuda 19.8GB SCSI drives. There are many of them so it is worth knowing if there is a reliable or even tenuous fix. Otherwise they shall be scrapped for magnets.
