Cloning

Again; lets not confuse the question with the example. The question is how to un-mark clusters as bad in NTFS. Long after i give up, and throw away the SSD, the question will still remain. Don't confuse my problem for the question. That doesn't mean that i might try to actually solve my problem:

DriveImageXML reaches the bad sector, and aborts.

GParted fails to load. A graphical boot screen appears, then a console window scrolls text by, followed by black screen nothing

Clonezilla refuses to clone my SSD:

This disk contains mismatched GPT and MGR partition: /dev/sdb
It will confuse Clonezill and might make the saved image useless or fail to clone the disk.

Please fix htis issue then restart Clonezilla again.
Program terminated.

How do i unmark a cluster as bad in NTFS?

Of course the Kingson SSD doesn't maintain spare sectors. If it did, it could transparently remap the spare sector for me, and i wouldn't have NTFS trying to over-think thinkgs.

SpinRite

i tried SpinRite'ing the SS drive. It comes across the defective sector, but is unable to get any values from the drive:

══════════════════╤═══════════════════════════╤═════════════════════════════════
cylinder : 7,183  │     data samples : 1,999  │  first uncertain bit : · · · · ·
  sector :    17  │   unique samples :     0  │   last uncertain bit : · · · · ·
    head :   187  │  discarded sples :     0  │   uncertain bit span : · · · · ·

The number of data samples counts up to 2,000, then cycles back to zero, and keeps going.

After about 20 loops (i.e. 40,000 data samples) i gave up.
