There are two situations that will cause a drive to develop bad sectors. 
One situation is when corrupted data is stored on the drive; the other is 
when physical damage has occurred inside the unit.
Corrupted Data:
This is known as a logical error and is correctable. We recommend using our 
Zero Fill utility, which will write zeros to the entire drive, returning 
the drive to a "like new" condition. After running the Zero Fill utility 
you will need to partition the drive and format it, since the utility will 
remove this information, as well as the data.
Physical Damage:
Physical damage of the unit is uncorrectable. Shipping or handling damage 
is usually the cause of this type of damage. If the drive has physical 
damage it will have to be replaced.
