IS bad sectors mean ur HDD is crashed..Well if it is then no chance..If u want to use ur Old HDD having bad sectors with ur new HDD dnt take a chance..Suggest u to try this s/w-HDD Regenerator 1.51 (nice effecient working program) and remove the bad sectors and then use it with ur new one.UR comp may slow down if ur old HDD has a really loadz of bad sectors or else it will be fine

DOWNLOAD LINK FOR HDD Regenerator 1.51

Default Re: Can old HDD work with new one..

that data present on ur bad sector will slow down application it is related with. if any windows component gets writtenon a bad sector ur pc will become really slow.

u should do a zero level format of your hdd first or get a new one.
