So like always, my sister give me the most obnoxious stuff to do.
This time: Her friend's laptop.
Dell Inspirion 17r. When I saw Dell, I tried not to get a heart attack. [i3 3th gen, 6GB of RAM]
What she did? Her mother turned off her PC when partition was being formatted
Okay. After buying a new pendrive [and verifying that my old pendrive is dying] and doing some heavy testing, I can already tell that HDD needs to be swapped. [80% of HDD has unfixable bad blocks, 15% works, the rest is just corrupted]
My dad was actually negotiating with me that "I/O" related errors and "Read-only" errors were only due to corrupted partition table and that formatting would fix it but after further inspection [ft. Failed Grub installation] I diagnosed that HDD is done for good.
I contacted my "client" [Oh, how professional] and she's probably willing to shell out for HDD.
To put it simply, user has been abusing formats, repartitioning and probably other stuff which I don't recall.
The HDD is done for good and nothing can save it other than it's own death.
