My main HDD had a melt down and using tools from the UBCD I'm attempting to at least salvage a 200GB backup drive out of it.
The utility is re-mapping the bad sectors but I'm guessing a HDD with over 1000 bad sectors would not be worth saving?

Depends on how valuable what you have on the HDD is.

And if you have the time and patience, then why not give it a go??

Perhaps he means he thinks a HDD with over 1000 bad sectors isn't worth saving to be reused as a backup drive.

In which case I would definitely say no because you can't trust it anymore.

Hmmm 22,000 errors and counting. 56% of remap complete. Spread some butter on it, it's toast.
