Thanks Netiv.
As usual you childishly pick on the person rather than on the information
when you have been driven into a corner.

Your nit picking remind me of an anecdote about scientist being able to talk to
a corpse hours after death, by means of electrodes they connected to the dead's
brain. The only problem was that the stiff didn't answer when talked to ...
How very fitting, when one pictures you as the corpse ......
You understood perfectly what I meant and your sophistry doesn't help users.
You also understood perfectly what *I* meant and that is why you are now
desperately posturing how you are being deliberately misunderstood when
you know that you have been driven into a corner and see no way out of it.
Right there: "bad sectors on track 0 don't mean it is not recoverable".
In other words a few bad sectors doesn't make a drive dead.
If the configuration sector can be read then the drive has read capability.
Hence the findpart report shows read capability, hence drive not dead.
No point in running Fdisk and risk more (Fdisk F6 sector) grief.
He did provide sufficient info in an earlier post.
Yes, as to whether the drive is dead or not.
Nothing in relation to why Partition Doctor "was unable to fix the problem".
Where from do you take that nonsense?
More posturing from you Netiv, you know very well about the Fdisk F6 sectors.
You know very well about Svend's warnings to *not* to run *Fdisk* in case of
MBR (partiton tables) problems.
This is where you ran yourself into another corner again, Netiv, and you know it.
You are getting smarter ...
Yup. Contrary to you, Netiv.
You obviously never tried FDISK on a drive in that state.
What state exactly, that is still to be determined.
Reports in my post is the inverse of "does not report"
and there is no ambiguity to what that is,
Oh yes, obviously there is.
We already determined that the drive can read and is recognized by BIOS.
So it does 'report'.
Fdisk will see it but because of the bad MBR it will be ambiguous as to what
to make of Fdisk's 'report'.
if you had hands-on experience,
The type that you are displaying here? No thanks.
Tall order that, on the internet, Netiv.
Keep posturing, you may actually convince someone, one day.
Posture!
It depends on other tests at POST whether the bios will
give it a device number and whether the OS will then see it.
If Findpart sees it, Partition Doctor sees it then Fdisk will see it.
It's obviously not dead in the sense that you are trying to determine
it's status.
May I suggest that you keep studying specifications rather than
confusing readers with pointless posts.
More posture.
Another lie, Netiv.
