I got a hard drive here, its a Western Digital Caviar SE EIDE. Its malfunctioning to the point that it will boot up and work like 20% of the time.
Its a year and 5 months old... so WD wants nothing to do with it.
Is it possible to fix?, maybe some deep formatting to get it goin again? or is there a way i can disable the bad sections so that i can use part of it.
