hmm... dili mo angkon ang technician s iyaha sala.. so better u get help from NBI or PEDEA.. ^_^
kuan lng ni cya kanang akoa lng oppinion lng bah... kay nag tama gyud ang nag assist nimo hasta ang manager cguro... ^_^ try lng na cya bai... basin mataohan cla ug ilisan ka s HDD nga ilaha gitagak... ^_^

[aditti]

thanks...wla ko kita sa owner kanina..i left my complain letter na.

tell me oh great and experienced computer masters... the technician guy (and his other technician co-workers) said dili daw mka bad sector ang pag hulog....he said before the hulog daw, possible naa na daw ni coz daghan kau bad sector ang hdd.

i just feel they are trying to bullsh!t me on this!

anyway, @DonMarc, green valley is somewhere in labangon.. naa to cla'y thread diri before. si ruel jud ako na interact before coz cya ra to sauna and he worked on my hdd until 11 pm sa gabii para lang jud mahuman... that is good service. and no pay if dili ma restore.

@vipvip68, i wont name the store and the owner lang coz wala pman na settle. i don't know unsay next move sa store and it would be unfair to malign them now.

sis, if ever lang dili gyud ma resolve imo problem. try lang daw using softwares para ma recover imo files. Nya unsa man d i brand sa imo hard disk? Basin pwedi raman na ma claim ug warranty. If dili nimo kaya just pm me, maybe i can help u.

[aditti]

^ what softwares man? seagate ang brand..under warranty pa..

what causes bad sectors man guys?

[mindless]

what the.. ge hulog ang HD? grabeha gud ka noobs ana nga teeknisyan?

Why the bad sectors appear? That is a very debate problem as the engineers are struggling to explain it. But some general ideas of why the bad blocks appear to the hard disk have every person that has this problem. The reasons that they appear are explained in long forums discussions and also explained in the specialty magazines.

Let’s begin by telling you some generals reasons for which bad sectors appears:
- the reading heads are sustaining them self over the platens for that little distance whit the help of the air flow that creates from the high rotation of the platens; when the platens are stopped the air flow disappears and the reading head are gently touch the surface of the platens whit no risk for the hard drive. However, if the reading heads are touching themselves on a high speed that will create a disaster for the hard drive and also the bad sectors appear.

- another factor that can create bad sectors on your hard drive is the mechanical shocks. Hit the hard drive or accidentally drop it from your hand increase the apparition of the bad sectors. Also if the mechanical shock must not be applied directly to the hard drive and still creates bad sectors, for an example lets say that your entire tower case drops from the support. In the mechanical sector we must include the vibration. If you have the tower case of your computer opened and the hard drive is running, if you move it from its place or lean it from one side to another can also increase the chances of the creation of the bad sectors. The hard drive can sustain vibration by only a couple of grams and if you drop your hard disk on the floor consider yourself lucky if you don’t get some multiple bad sectors.

- heat can create bad sectors; inside your hard disk the platens are moving with speeds between 4400 rpm to 15000 rpm. Because of this speeds the hard disk is producing a very important quantity of heat and does not eliminate very much of it throw a standard cooling system on the computers. Is you notice that the hard drive is very hot when working you can consider installing an additional cooling fan especially for the hard disk. So the high temperatures can make some components of the hard disk not to work properly and so it leads to the apparition of bad sectors.

- the mechanical and electronic parts of the hard disk can create bad sectors if they malfunction. Most of you already know that the hard disk has a board full whit electronic piece. If some of those transistors or coils are not working in normal parameters and dos not transmits the right information or the right induction currents that where meant to be it can lead to a malfunction of the reading heads and so to the creation of the bad sectors.

- the demagnetization of the hard disk platens can also create bad sectors. The demagnetization can appear because of the cheap quality offered from the manufacturers or because of the head slap. If the hard drive is accidentally hit some particles on the reading heads can detach from them and creating a small and fine dust that will remain on the platens and when the reading heads are returning to that sector to perform a different action it will be stopped by that dust. You can already understand that the spot where the dust is already is transformed to bad sectors.

- one factor that was creating more hard disk bad sector then no other (that of course if we look in past, for the actually hard disk that are on the market is no longer available) is the power clinch. The newer hard disk has safety pieces to prevent damage from the clinch but is not always working for all of the hard disks.

sue the incompetent idiot(s)

sis kana mahulog, mao gyud na number 1 cause sa bad sector. Insufficient supply, i think mao ramn gyud ni possible causes sa bad sector.

@xiaoxia - thanks for answering my question with the thorough enumeration. funny kau coz ingon ang ilang head technician that dili daw na most likely mka cause ang pag hulog sa bad sector (and the untimely demise of my hdd) napud ganina... i wanted to tell him jud give me an hdd na inyong gi gamit dha sa inyong computers karon kay ako jud ilabay sa salog.. if 100% mu dagan na no problem, mu tuo nako na walay effect ang pag hulog nla sa akong hdd

the technician said it was his first time dropping a hdd in his 7 yrs of working... its just so unfortunate na akoa pa jud!

wala pud sila tech ngad2 nga maka recover sa imo files sis? kay pwede mana pa waranty sa seagate guro,, or sa store imo gipalitan.. kay if sa seagate pa freight pa nimo.. or f ma recover ang files pa ilisi ang HDD sa ila wid the same capaciity ug brand. den sila pa warantyha ngad2 sa seagate ila nato problem if warantyhan sa seagate or dli basta ma recover imo files nga importante..
