How to Repair Bad Sectors in SSD/NVME (Macrorit Partition Expert)

• Clever idea, but here is problem. Some nvme will stuck, when they try to read from broken sector. So if you attempt to move the partition to rewrite this area, it will freeze in middle of the move. Goodbye data. Thus the better way is: detect failure blocks numbers with linux "badblock" utility in raw read mode (filesystem irrelevant), then instruct "hdparm" utility to write into that specific block unconditionally.

• So all we need is zeroing these bad sectors…
  Moving the partition seems a little bit overkill

• It appears that padding with zeros fixes bad sectors on different models and is not typical only for a certain model. Samsung had 1 bad sector constantly moving around the disk, while Kingston had multiple problems. The disk seemed dead, the OS crashed, read 15 MB/sec and suddenly became 100% healthy.

• Helpful

• are you dead from inside ?😐

• Do you have any tip for a faulty SSD (Asgard) that I delete files and partitions but as soon as I do it, it restore the files and partitions? I've tried TestDisk, Diskpart… Nothing works. It seems that the MFT is broken but I can't fix it no matter I try.

• found the bad guys but after commit and restart i got error code 4652 ERR_NTFS_CPY_FILE

  nothing change

• Hello, while doing this scan, a red dot appears, then the computer gives a blue screen and shuts down. This indicates that the disk is completely corrupted.

• i Have some bad sectors in the beginning and some in the end. Is this disk lost?

• Is this software free?
  Please reply 😊

• after power loss my NVME dont initialize windows, dont format and in the diskpart dont shows in the list disk, only in the list volume but with type RAW… i tried to delete volume, format, chndsk, etc… but nothing works.

• thanks for the great content brother
  just wanted to ask i have a intel sata 470 gb
  i just recognized that the health is dropping quick idk why
  my samsung nvme health still 100% after 2 years of usage
  but my intel is just about 7 months of usage and dropped like 14% health
  can you help me ?

• wait, how to know where does the red colour sector starts? i got the scan_log. it says

  Physical bad sector No: 6013454336, count: 2048.
  
  Starting bad sector location: 2.800 TB, size: 1.000 MB.

  so if i change my scan area to aroud 2.799 TB and 2.801 TB, i should find it? i tried to scan this area but no bad sector found.

• Hi, I cloned my HDD (it only had 4kb of bad sectors) to a new SSD. After the process, I ran the CHKDSK command on the new SSD drive, I couldn't believe it, the 4k bad sectors were also on the new drive! On the other hand, I used macrorit to do a surface test on the new drive, guess what… no bad sectors at all!!! I don't really understand what's going on, any suggestions?
  
  Thanks in advanced!!!

• If i remove bad sector. Then data will be lost?

• You started in Drive G: ROG and ended in Drive C:Corsair. I am not sure it will work in the SO disk C: without messing up the boot sectors, fat, etc. Has anyone tried that without loosing information?

• Yey it helped me too

• Heya, after power loss my D_NVME shows 4KB in bad sectors. Because surface test don't show any problematic sector, I do Fill with zero to all drive. When finish, disk need to initialize again. After that make NTFS partition and when recheck it with chkdsk /r /f /x, bad sectors disappear. Thank you.

• This is not a repair, this to avoid, skip, disable, exclude bad sectors. But okay, I have and old OCZ Agility 3 60GB drive running ZorinOS 15 and in the disk manager it shows 8 bad sectors. I don't know how to check where the bad sectors are exactly. Any ideas?

• I just got a new Integral Msata SSD from Amazon. First attempt to Clonezilla my old drive to it revealed bad sectors. Then I saw the file structure was coming out as RAW and corrupted, which can't even be run through chkdsk. I presume I'm right to return it?

• Why are we avoiding the Defrags, formatting, and extensive safe deletes?
