Red face Bad Bad Sectors


Hi folks!!!
my external hdd has developed some bad sectors. Although I repaired using the tool in XP. I am already aware of the fact that it just set the OS to ignore the bad sectors and want to know whether the drive would behave normally even if I connect it to anther system (eg my linux distro) ??

thanks

Yes......It'll perfectly work in other systems also. BTW Bad Sectors cannot be repaired. Those r marked as ignored. Correct me if I'm wrong.
