I had a 8.4GB harddisk. It cannot load into windows one day. Hence i format the harddisk and try to reinstall windows. However, i cannot use FULL format even i delete the partition and make a new partition, they said my harddisk is spolit. I can only use Quick format to format my harddisk. But my PC will auto restart while install files. I believe it have some bad sectors.
Can someone teach me how to fix my bad sectors harddisk? Using a program?

Sorry, there is no real fix. Even if you did mark all the bad sectors, it will continue to deteriate. The good news is that HDDs are nowhere near as expensive as they used to be.

Go to the website of the harddrive manufacturer and download their diagnostic tool. It should create a bootdisk that starts the tool. Run it and it should tell you where the problem is!
