My seagate sata 80GB failed yesterday :(
Is it possible to repair the harddisk(SMART test reported failed status)?
I mean the hdd works still and only at some random times it fails with a "tick" sound. :oops:
the hdd warranty is over.
So,do u know anywhere if I courier the hdd,that they can try repairing it?
Especially prefers Kochi, Banglore or Madras.

All the below shops I tell are in Bangalore.

Don't even think of going to the shop in Cunningham Road ... known as Disk Doctor (its 3rd/4th Floor in the building behind Seagate Service Center) becos u can't afford the repair. (Rs. 5000 Initial + 30000-40000) for repair & recovery if done.

There is one in Manipal Center, known as Stellar Data Recovery, but not sure if they repair Physically Damaged ones. You can have a try.

Check for your city in this page.

Last one that I know of is in S.P.Road. I got mine & my friends HDD repaired . Very good place to get ur HDD recovered. Call up the shop/guy before you go.

Contact Person: Syed

 The address is :
F.A. Computers
No 5, Welcome Plaza, 3rd Cross,
P.R. Lane, S.P. Road,
Bangalore - 560002

Tel: 080 - 4169 6229
Mobile: 98450 87133, 98459 35227

Hope that helps.

If none of the above work out, you can give it to Seagate Service Center & ask them to repair it. They will charge you for this may be.

nothing much can be done :(

I had a 80GB seagate HDD it also went kaput like this.. got warning for sometime... I did something freaky and after sometime while it was working suddenly PC switched off and white smoke came from the HDD :lol:


data recovery is insanely costlier... just backup whenever you can

no.. not with modern HDDs


bad sectors can only be marked as bad by the OS when checking for disk errors... if the problem is spread out then nothing can be done...

who waked this sleeping thread :?:
well,guys,I long back got a replacement from seagate.yes,the hdd is under warranty upto 2009november 8)

Yes,I had my datas saved into my new 160GB sata disk.
only thing difficult was to swap my Dear Debian Sid from failing hdd to new hdd.that too done easily!
without any problem Debian booted from new hdd ! :D
guess we cannot achieve this in the "other os" especially if you change ur hardware often.
