For laptops and desktop computers that have been used for a long time, the hard drive will often make noise during use, which is a reminder that it is about to break down. However, there is a way to save money, which is to block bad sectors. Don’t talk too much, and decisively provide practical information! The editor below will teach you how to shield bad sectors on your hard drive.

The method/steps are as follows:

1. First open the DiskGenius software, click the hard disk menu, and select the bad sector scan and repair options. Of course, you must select the hard disk beforehand. This method also applies to mobile hard disks! However, it is best to low-level format the hard drive before operating! To facilitate partition adjustment!

2. Click to start detection, and after the detection is completed, click to save the report! (The hard drive I used for demonstration is 500gsata3.0. It took 6 hours to detect it, but it’s still OK!) There are 5 bad sectors in the picture! The saved report is in txt format and can be opened with Notepad. We can see

3. Of course, as can be seen from the picture, the bad sectors of these five hard disks are spread into one area. Therefore, the starting cylinder number of the bad sectors is 26377. In order to be farther away from the partition, remove the previous number, 26300 cylinders. Face number! In other words, partitions before cylinder number 26300 are fine. Under normal circumstances, about 131 cylinders occupy 1 G of storage space, so there were 200 G of good partitions before! As shown in the picture, my hard disk partition is adjusted like this. The system is placed on the c drive, giving 50 G! D drive gives more than 140 G

4. Pay attention to this. After dividing the partitions, adjust the cylinder number! The method is to right-click on the partition and adjust the partition parameters. Note that in the example, the starting cylinder number of bad sectors is 26377. In order to prevent the spread of bad sectors, take the first number, 26300, and the ending cylinder number of bad sectors is 26696. A lower cylinder number, 26790, and save!

5. As shown in the figure, you will find that there should be a gap between the second partition and the third partition of the four partitions after adjustment. This gray gap is actually intentionally left vacant and is the calculated location of the bad sectors. Note that, We usually do not partition this location. Although there are several gigabytes of storage space, once it is read, it is likely to cause bad sectors to spread. Bad sectors that have been isolated usually will not spread!

6. In the last step, click Save Plan. This example system is divided into two primary partitions, 50 C drives and 140 GB D drives. The logical partitions E and F are 130 GB each! You can adjust it as appropriate! But never partition bad sectors!

The above also introduces the methods and steps for shielding hard disk bad sectors that the editor introduced to you. In fact, as long as the area with bad sectors is hidden, it will be just like using a new hard drive and will not have any impact on use. Replacing a hard drive costs several hundred!
