Myth #5 :
If your hard disk has bad sectors, formatting will cause more bad sectors to appear!
Truth :
If your hard disk has bad sectors from recurrent head crashes, then the number of bad sectors is GUARANTEED to increase as time goes by.
The reason for the increased number of bad sectors when you format the hard disk is because formatting your hard disk reveals the new bad sectors! Don't forget, when you format the hard disk, the format utility will check for and reveal the new bad sectors.
So, formatting will not increase the number of bad sectors in a failing hard disk. It just reveals what's going on.
அதாவது ஏற்கனவே Bad Sector இருந்தால் நீங்கள் Format செய்யும் போது அது தெரிய வருகின்றதே அன்றி Format செய்வதால் Bad Sector வருவதில்லை.
