How do I completely remove Ready Driver Plus/HDD problems

Hi, I searched the forums and surprisingly I found no results for this. The reason I'm asking in this section is because I know there are skilled members here.

1) What is the system reserved partition? I read on a forum to delete all your partitions and format to remove RDP.

2) I tried to completely kill my hdd using Active Killdisk but for some reason it didn't work, giving me an error. So I then tried doing a full format using killdisk and it told me I had bad sectors on my hdd. Before using killdisk though, I used Windows chkdsk utility to fix bad sectors...twice. I used the DOS version of killdisk and it worked for some reason, doing a one pass-zero write method.

3) How can I completely kill my hdd but still make it usable? I want to fix my bad sectors and remove Ready Driver Plus.

Btw, the bad sectors came when I was using Matlab and wrote some code that basically would take forever to end, and I couldn't stop it-ctrl+c, task manager, etc. Nothing worked, and Matlab was using 100% of my RAM too. So I held my power button. I decided to reformat a little later because Windows was acting weird and after reinstalling Windows, I got TWO!!! BSOD from a fresh install...

Thank you

 

if you have bad sectors.... do a surface scan after CHKDSK scans/fixes.

if the surface scan finds physical bad sectors, then you need to replace the HDD (Seagate's warranty should cover it).
