More Hard Drive problem

[r0nn13]

I seem to have dropped my IBM 2.5inch hard drive and it has been slightly damaged - yes silly me.

When I format the drive it gets to 48% and doesn't get any further. I was wondering if there are any tools that will scan the surface of the drive and mark/record all the bad sectors so the Amiga will just ignore these parts?

I have tried AmiNET and there are only a couple of programs that deal with Hard Drives but don't do the hiding part.

Any thoughts? I have heard of Quarterdeck tools but don't know what it does.

Sounds like a plan.

I just need a program that can read the disk to find out where the disk starts and stops being faulty. Failing that I will just have to do it manually by doing small partitions to see where the bad part is.

Thanks for the help.
