Hide Bad Sectors

[pclab]

Hi

I have a few drives with very few bad sectors, that I want to hide.

I have done scans, add defects to P-List, format with P-list. After a Scan they continue to appear.
Shouldn't they hide doing this steps?
What's wrong??
Thanks

Are these WD drives we're talking about? If so have you tried self scan? I know it takes a while, but usually fixes these issues.

Yeah, for now they are WD.
I haven't tried that yet, because of the time it takes...
But eventually I will try.

Just rig up a separate power supply so after you start the process you can disconnect them from your station and just leave em running.
