I have a disk with a single broken sector. SMART shows 0 reallocated sectors and 0 pending sectors.
Unfortunately, this sector can not be fixed in usual way by forcing HDD controller to remap it, as the HDD completely hangs on attempt to write to the sector. Even Victoria can't reinit the HDD, only turning power off-on resets the disk.
There is no need to restore data: I have a backup. Replacing the HDD is not an option.
So chkdsk as well as other tools which scan and restore data will not help me: those which just scan or try to read give me no new information; those which try to force remap, hang the disk.
Is there any way to mark that NTFS sector (or cluster) as bad under Windows?
