Para
aqueles que gostam de ler segue abaixo um texto interessante, sobre o assunto.
Como
já disse anteriormente, tudo sobre Hard Disk esta em inglês e a maioria dos
termos não tem uma tradução plausível, e corremos o risco de até mudarmos seu
real significado.
Low
level format utilities for the hard disk
Important drive information (servo, sector layout, and
defect management, etc.) is stored in the low-level format at the factory. This
information is designed to last the life of the drive and therefore it is not
possible to low level the drive outside the factory. Although some drive
manufactures and BIOS provided so-called "low level format
utilities", they actually perform a write-read verify of the drive’s user
data sectors, and do not actually perform a low-level format. In the event of a
corrupted master boot record or boot block virus, use FDISK /MBR command to
restore the master boot record. If you need to low level format your hard drive
then check the drive manufacturer and download such an utility from its
website.

Question
Question
I am getting errors when trying to format a Samsung
drive during high level formatting.
Is there a low level utility that I can download?
Answer: You cannot format the disk drive at low level.
The servo, sector layout and defect management information contained in the low level format is designed to last the life of the drive.
Answer: You cannot format the disk drive at low level.
The servo, sector layout and defect management information contained in the low level format is designed to last the life of the drive.
As such, this information cannot be overwritten
outside of the factory.
But we will attach a file which makes a hdd the same
status as that of when you purchase a hdd newly, that is, status of no data and
status to be formatted newly.
IMPORTANT:
YOU MUST BACK UP YOUR DATA BEFORE FORMATTING.
Eu
espero ter dado aqui uma pequena contribuição para esclarecer o assunto e também
colaborar para que vocês possam eventualmente resolver pequenos problemas em
seus hard disk.
Gostaria
de lembrar a todos que "A compra de um martelo de ótima qualidade não
impedirá que se de uma martelada no dedo, muito menos a garanta que não teremos
nossa unha estripada".
