Is there any HDD diagnosis software for HandyCams?

Text:

Hi,

There's a problem with my hard drive, possibly a bad sector. I had to remove the data and format it and it was working for some minutes (22 min) and then it had HDD access problem. At this point it does not save the records anymore and always shows "Recovering data" after you stop the record and there will be no record. I have tried formatting it using the camera firmware, but the problem persists.

I could not format it via a computer though and I am looking for a way to have a complete format via a service software if there is such a thing.

Do you know any software that is capable of doing such diagnostics?

Thanks!
