Hi
I have a drive, that shows reallocated sectors.
I have taken this drive, and low level format/Write Zeroes, ran stress test for several days, the drive is performing well.
Have done several error scans, all is well.
I need to clear the Glist/Plist, within the drives firmware.
i don't trust the manufacturers notifications about reallocated sectors, I would like to clear them, and then retest the disk.
Is there a freeware method of doing this?
There are forensic utilities that can clear the list, but they cost a fortune.
As mentioned I don't trust the manufacturers, they just want you to buy a new HD.
Thx!
