Where does hard drive save the bad sector count number?

i want to repair a hard disk that has652 bad sectors and when I use HDD regenerator, it reports that bad sectors were fixed, but when I try to install Windows or Linux, the hard drive doesn't accept that, so I tried to use a program called Disk. That program reports that nothing happens to the hard drive and it still has652 bad sectors. So what can I do, and where exactly does he hard disk save the bad sectors count number?

When there is bad sectors on a HD there is no much you can really do, because is a physical problem over the disk surface. When a program use the term "fix" refer to mark those sectors like bad for not be used again.

Anyway a hard disk with several account of bad sectors is a bad signal, not store important files inside, usually appears more bad sectors.

There is no specific sector or place on disk where the bad sectors resides since the heads are reading most of the entire discs surface with or without data. it can only be marked and perhaps recover the data so that the heads will just skip reading that surface and it might spread in time. So before its too late make that HDD replaced.

Try to wipe the hard drive with "Darik Boot and Nuke" a free ware hard drive wiping software, if there are logical bad sectors then those will be fixed.

First , Open your My Computer  >> Right Click On Drive "C" >> Properties >>"Tools" Tab >> Error Checking >> Check Now >> Check The Two Option >>Press Start  and Ok for any other msgs appears ...Restart You PC\\ Laptop
