 5. Now it’s time to use low level format, which consider G and P. In the long time waiting, maybe 20 minutes, finally finished formatting.
6. Quit PC3K, use MHDD to scan, it’s OK. There has no cyan S. I think the HDD is recovered.
7. Follow is use FDISK partition and FORMAT. No problem, no bad tracks. ( For small capacity HDDs like 20G, I’d like to use FDISK to partition, because FDISK has the function of checkout and know there is no big problems in partition processes.)
