voodoop Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Hi ! I think my SSD (F60GB2-A) has bad sectors . I get BSOD from time to time . I tried to scan it with HD Tune and the whole system hangs when trying to scan specific sector(s) . Is there anything I can do besides erase it ? Can I reallocate the bad sectors ? Thanks !

Incriminated Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 2.1b? this one is ages old... you could try an FW-update. its maybe out of warranty today, so be warned :!: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voodoop Posted June 9, 2013 Author Share Posted June 9, 2013 I think the last version for these drives is 2.4 . I tried to update it in Windows 8 but it doesn't detect it . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toasted Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 What are the BSOD error codes? As Synthohol mentioned check if the SSD is aligned properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voodoop Posted June 9, 2013 Author Share Posted June 9, 2013 It just freezes the whole system . I think it's not aligned :aligned.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synthohol Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 To check if your partition is aligned. Run command box > msinfo32 > Expand "Components" > Expand Storage > Disks > look for Partition Starting Offset under the GS SSD. Partition Starting Offset / 4096 If the result came out as a whole number, your partition is aligned. If not, The partition is not aligned. yours is not a whole number. i would suggest using Acronis to make an image, store it on another drive, dont forget to make the bootable recovery disk, do a secure erase and align the partition then boot to the recovery disk and restore. good luck.

voodoop Posted June 9, 2013 Author Share Posted June 9, 2013 I tried with Acronis . It hangs . I tried to align it . It hangs again and get this error : I think because it started alignement and hangs . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synthohol Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 in that case please submit an RMA request and they will take care of you and replace the drive if its still under warranty. please use the link on the left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incriminated Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 You can try boot Gparted delete all partitions and then install a WIn CD for a clean install, that should make up a properly aligned partition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voodoop Posted June 10, 2013 Author Share Posted June 10, 2013 I managed to align it . I formatted it , I secure erased it and I installed Windows 8 on it . I still get errors . When the computer boots , the SSD is not detected sometime . I think it's good to throw it away :) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

voodoop Posted June 10, 2013 Author Share Posted June 10, 2013 I tried to fill out a RMA but on my SSD is written CSSD-F60GB2-A and they force me to choose from CSSD-F60GB2-A/RF2 and CSSD-F60GB2-A/RF . What to choose ? Thanks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
