I did. However, the problem seems to persist in some specific sectors even after I reformat it (that is, when I "quick reformat" it - depending on the partition, I can't format it properly).

If you still get funky errors after formatting the drive, it's busted.
Let it go, man :p

I noticed I can't format some partitions due to this error, but others seem to work fine.
:conf:
I sure hope they are. I'm running a computer with a damaged HD. And I have some partitions along with different operating systems just in case one of them stops functioning.
So far, nothing has happened. Fedora is the only one that identifies the HD error though although I'm pretty sure it isn't in that particular partition.

What about guarantee?
I've got a simular problem, my HD just gave up (samsung) after a year. It does nothing anymore (power doesn't work) is there any way to get to the files on them? or did I download 200GB of Pron for nothing?
bought a new one yesterday (western digital) 1TB :cool:
