hey JUDDAN don't bother yourself friend ... i have the same problem which is my external hard disk sometimes when i want to access or delete some files i got error prompt that saying "" bad secture ...'' or like that.

-i tried the windows tool chkdsk
- i tried the DOS comman chkdsk
- i used some utilties
but nothing solved it...

i saw i post in another forum that saying '' when u format ur storage device , the problem will be solved''

i hope he is right... i will try it and i'll tell ya...
bye
