Cercando informazioni, ho trovato questo post di un utente:
<<< I've got 2 of OneTouch (1st gen) drives: 250GB (7200rpm, 8MB cache) 300GB (5400rpm, 2MB cache) The 300GB has started dying and probably has bad sectors within FAT-table. Running scandisk deleted the faulty directory, but not able to correct the bad sectors: trying to read the file fragments causes loud clicking from the drive and finally an I/O error reported by OS (Win XP Home). IF it were a normal IDE disk, the fault could POSSIBLY be repaired with a low lever format operation, but doing that on a drive in an USB enclosure, is impossible without opening the case and voiding the warranty. Because of of that, I am returning the drive >>>
Se ciò fosse vero (come da un po' purtroppo sospettavo) allora nessun programma può effettuare una formatazione a basso livello di un hd usb
Temo proprio che lo dovrò spedire indietro, che palle....
