AS far as I know that the CHKDSK runs a surface scan and remaps a bad block. But does anyone know where these remap written? Is it to the drive's electronics or somewhere else in the OS? I think that it will store in the drive's own firmware table and table remains intact when HDD is used with some other computer. The same thing might be happening for comparable utilities in Linux and xBSD? Am I right? Do you think that the Acronis can remap sectors?
I would like to get any bootable utilities, which are capable to do a sector by sector scan and remap bad blocks. It should not affect the whole drive. Is there any such which is independent on OS?
