I just wanna know from techie experts if wiping the hdd repair its bad blocks?

thanks.

Normal formatting "sometimes" fixes bad blocks. sometimes dili..what happens here is if makakita cya og bad blocks iya i attempt og fix, but if dili it would be marked as bad block, and dili na magamit. So as a result to that, it would lessen the capacity of your Hard drive.

So wala jud assurance na through normal formatting ma fix cya, sometimes it would even get worst kay possible na ma corrupt ang files sulod anang block..

short answer: NO...

if you wish to repair bad sectors use Spinrite or HDD Regenerator...
