hard drive recovery - Is it really possible to repair bad sectors?


I have found different and opposite opinions on the internet:


is it really possible to repair bad sectors on a hard disk ? should I replace the hard disk or just repair it?


I would be glad to read about your opinions.


I have just run HD Tune Pro, and it says:



Current Pending Sector


Description: Number of unstable sectors: 47
Status: The drive has unstable sectors.

Answer



Most HDDs will automatically perform wear levelling to reduce bad sector issues.


It will cost more time and money to repair any bad sectors than it would cost you to buy a new HDD for around £50. Especially when you consider your "repaired" drive could go bad completely and lose all your data.
