I have WD5000aaks-00yga drive,

I could see all files and folders via DE but only some files from a folder could be opened correctly, all other files are not opened , I mean are corrupted, I started to make a copy to another drive to see what is happening, it copies normally except that there are some sectors that are marked with black in DE Map window, not green or red, I noticed that all files before the first black sector are opened normally, all other files are opened corrupted, I think we should add those defects and correct the translator, is it true?, if yes, how can I add defects , in DE I could know onlyLBA, how to know Cylinder head and number of the sector from LBA, because in the utility we could add defect by cylinder and head.

Please help

When you start to copy out files with DE you've got the option to skip files with read errors (or something similar), so as soon as the file you're copying has an error, the copy is stopped, so you get only a part of the file, making it corrupted.
So first of all, just try to remove that option and copy the files again.
