Allow me to continue this thread with a question about a method to erase
a disk that has bad sectors.
I bought a 1TB hard disk and will do the recoverdisk job soon. Then the
disk, a Seagate which is still under warranty
until 2013 as my local distributor told me, will go back and hopefully
I'll be getting a replacement in a few weeks.
But before I'll giv back that disk I would like to erase the disk
thoroughly.
Now, is the a way to do that in the opposite direction? Would
dd noerror
do that?
