Hello Marc,

The majority of data recovery technicians have specialized tools that allow extremely easy access to the firmware area on drives.

The tools have the ability to wipe the g-list with a few clicks of the mouse, and even have the ability to add the g-list defects to the p-list (this is not good for recovery, but for refurbishing)

Unfortunately the tools come at a high cost (minimum ~3K for low end stuff, really 5.5K to 12K for the good stuff, and there is usually SMS update system that costs ~$1000 a year)

“Most data recovery technicians can easily access the G-list of a drive that is held within it’s “service area” and remove false entries, or even clear the list completely.” thanks for the information How can I clear the glist ?
