any possible way to properly format it through command prompt
no need formatting it...it needs to be regenerated 1st...regeneration(repair sectors on a drive) is different from formating(preparaing a drive for use)...with all u have done,the info to be gained from formating unconditionally has already been generated...u have bad sectors and even ur smart has warned.....

You just have to take the bad battery to the shop where you intend to buy the replacement.

Sorry I cldnt help so much cuz of the distance btw us...I appreciate the call though..
It's a thorough procedure I won't be able to explain properly.
I once suggested to the moderators yrs ago to refine this forum by actually getting all the professionals on this forum together by identifying each other's specialization(hardware,software,wannabe..),location,experience on display..that way it wld be easier to locate the professional nearest to u..eg if ur based in Abuja and onegig resides there,it's easy to meet him and I wld even feel more comfortable to describe the procedure to him..for hardware,I tink that's adetwin space so All hardware related issues can be directed to him..
Av been in this forum since 2008,I av equally learnt do much as well(it was here I first learnt abt huawei unlock tool)and some other tins not in my everyday practice..
Once u av been certified here,it's easier for strangers to meet u up(once again I'm tankful for this forum for providing this space and thanks to all those pple who av kept the faith to actually meet up wit an "online presence" in person)
Pls moderators,find a way to make this happen..wonder where old timers like deji2009,zimdrill(Zimbabwe) are?
Wat I say "I do" and "I will do"-I do very well!

Greetings.
I hav a problem with my laptop. I uninstalled some apps a couple of weeks back when my browsers were opening tabs by themselves. I think I unknowingly uninstalled some of my DVD/CD-ROM drivers. Have tried installing modems n playing dvd but it doesn't just work. So i had to go to device manager and I saw this msg " windowns can not start the hardware device becausee information (in registry) is incomplete or damaged (code 19). Any help will b highly appreciated.

Thank you for your prompt response. I actually wanted to order a new one from Lagos. Someone told me there's a way one can identify the type of battery in his laptop without necessarily carrying the old one.

Sorry, I don't. I was asking to know how I can identify the battery of my HP mini laptop, so that I can confirm the price and order for it.

Click the Start button , and then click Control Panel. In the search box, type firewall and then click Windows Firewall. In the left pane, click Turn Windows Firewall on or off.

I think creating an exception or allowing yahoo messenger or its downloader through is a better option than an outright turn-off...

Cheers...

a bad sector hard drive needs to be regenerated first before u attempt any further procedures..if the hard drive responds well tehn there wld be no need to format it...the data in the bad sectors wld be moved to a new sector and that bad sector marked so data is not written into it..
u can call me on 08061679732...disaster recovery is my strong ppoint...
moreso,its just a 100-120g hard drive....if u dont have any meaningful info on it then it aint really worth the trouble..just replace it

it's a 2.5 sata 320gb internal hard drive used for console(ps3) processing speed,corrupted files has slowed it,quick format won't help cos it only writes zero on file path,full format on ps3 is unrealistic in Nigeria with power issues;18 hours interrupted needed for full format,pc is d only option,bt I need hdd enclosure,wat is d price range of a 2.5 hdd enclosure?
