Here's a do-it-yourself BIOS recovery trick which I have tried myself, but don't attempt it if you're not technically prepared to do it:

Daghan nangutana via private message kon unsaon pag-determine kon dautan ba ang HDD:

i-partition by FDISK then i-format.

kon dili moungot in either step as above, it's a good HDD (or no physical bad sectors).

that's the best QC of an HDD, esp. when followed by Scandisk to determine if there are "hard-to-read" sectors.

of course, there are specialized tools to repair HDD but when it comes to end-user testing there's no fancy about it, and the 3 tools mentioned above are very much adequate already for end users.
