How to maintain NTFS filesystem while writing zeroes to a partition?
I want to format a partition because it's got too many bad sectors and it's not accessible via the Command Prompt (on System Recovery) and is not mountable on Parted Magic.
I ran chkdsk /r on this partition for about 5 days. When I was NOT observing, it had restarted my laptop. So, I am not sure if chkdsk completed fully.
MY question is, WOULD THIS EXISTING NTFS FILESYSTEM BE preserved if I FORMAT this drive using "Erase Disk" in Parted Magic, to write zeroes everywhere?
Please explain!
Thanks.
