Chill dudes....:D:D
what the technology has to do with it ?

Anyways, Im not talking abt permanent damage to HDD but say slow performance, time to detect, crashing OS (windows esp:cool:), hanging so many times, slow booting, slow copying, etc.. I've kinda experienced this with my 4 years old PATA hard disk which I've formatted, partitioned, repartitioned soooo many times....

THhats why asking...

/Offtopic ans for offtopic question: I HATE him. He's a black spot in Indian politics history. I think I've to stop replying ur queries as I don't want to c his sh1tface:mad:


It doesn't matter how many times u format, generally PATA HDDS doesn't last long. 4yrs is very long in ur case. Again, if u unplug n plug d HDD frequently then its pins gets bent (Already lost 2 HDDs like this). Again, if ur HDD has developed any physical bad sector, then its hard to recover and d bad sector will increase day by day.
