Hi,

My HDD was developed bad sectors two days ago, and I can't recover it. I
know that a low-level formating can recover bad sectors, but I don't know
where to get a utility to do that. If anybody know .... , please help me.

In this particular situation, you may want to purchase Gibson Research's
SpinRite.  This utility helps diagnose bad sectors on a hard drive and makes
data recovery much easier.  It will probably cost you about $89 + SH and if
you are upgrading, about $39 + SH.  More info can be obtained from here,
http://grc.com/spinrite.htm.  HTH. :-)
