What should I do if the light is turned off while formatting the HDD?

Question

Iron

Hello, there is a "new" (no longer under warranty) WD Blue 1TB series. I put it in the system unit, Windows ate it, initialized it and decided to format it by unchecking the quick format. At a percentage of commercials, the light turned off at 75-77. When I started the system, the disk again required itself to be initialized, it was written to mbr, but with mandatory formatting, Windows spat with an error that it could not complete the formatting. After a million attempts to revive it, it was possible to change RAW to NTFS through GTP markup, but the disk became "write-protected" and Windows did not allow anything to be done with it. I decided to reboot the system and write it again to mbr, but now it throws out an error in crc data. I also noticed that smart from the former 100% fell to 17%. Is there a chance to revive it and, if so, how long will it last approximately?

Answer 1

Judging by the smart, the screw is dying, nothing can be done with such a smart

Buy UPS

Answer 3

Boot from the DVD and run the program for testing MHDD type disks - so that nothing stands between the disk and the program. And it already checks, tests, nulls, etc. Sometimes soft zeroing in MHDD solves bad sector problems. Most likely, there is an error somewhere in the disk metadata, Windows sees it and tries to play tricks.

Answer 5

For the first time I hear about such behavior when formatting is interrupted.
Usually this can not affect in any way, the heads will just park and that's it. Unless on 2.5 disks sometimes you have to do it manually.
As already mentioned, you just need to wipe it through Victoria / MHDD. Sometimes it helps if you do it in several passes.

Answer 6

Clear it completely with a program like Victoria. Well, it would be nice to see Smart in its entirety as it is, and not in some incomprehensible percentage of who knows what.

Answer 7

smart from the previous 100% fell to 17%

Percentages can be considered parrots, each program that displays them calculates them in its own way, you need to look at the specific values ​​​​of the SMART parameters.
There is a mechanism similar to percentages (threshold), but I doubt that you have all the values ​​\u200b\u200bdipped so much at once.
Full formatting is filling the disk with zeros, respectively, your problem can be described as "power outage at the time of writing to the disk."
Download the program for testing hard drives and, because. the disk is new and there is no data there, run a full-surface write test first (the equivalent of a full format, as it will overwrite everything on the disk), then a full read test. This will be a good check on the health of the disk.
You can also do a quick diagnosis before that (Quick Diag).
By the way, SMART can also be viewed using R.Tester.
