How To Remove Bad Sector In Pen drive “Do you want to scan and fix Removable Disk” Error In Windows With This Few Steps.
Technical problem are an inevitable part of our digital life. Many of us have become used to this kind of glitches that arise every now an then. But, for the novice users, seeing alert messages of disk errors after connecting a pen drive would lead to a situation of panic. Our pen drives and hard drives store a small amount of data in various sectors. There are times when some of these sectors become unusable. Such sectors are known as bad sectors.

I will mention the steps required to repair bad sectors present in a pen drive or any mass storage media connected to a computer. The method will require the use of a machine running the Windows Operating System. There are two types of bad sectors:
Logical (Soft) Bad Sectors: Exist due to software problems. Can be repaired.
Physical (Hard) Bad Sectors: Exist if a physical damage occurs in the pen drive or storage media.

So, how to remove bad sectors in a pen drive? Here are some methods which would help you get off the crisis situation:

Remove bad sectors using Windows Explorer

The first and the foremost solution to the removal of bad sectors is the Windows Explorer. An easy to use interface would allow you to check your connected storage media for bad sectors and get rid of them.

Note: We’ve used Windows 8.1 to run the disk checking utility. The user interface for Windows 10 is similar but it may differ form Windows 7. Snapshots have been added for your convenience.

Follow these steps:

1. Connect your pen drive to your computer. Windows may automatically display a message “Do you want to scan and fix Removable Disk (F:)”.
