Format HD With Too Many Bad Sectors?
Jan 16, 2013This notebook started to behave badly and I found that the problem is the HDD.ItFor you to get the scenario: I first ran the Windows native disk tool and it reported no problem. But the system was still slow and freezing.So I made some googling and ran Check Disk GUI, but it couldn't complete its job. So I started to figure out that the thing was a bit harder than I first thought.I tried to defrag and optimize with Auslogics Disk Defrag Portable, and it too couldn't go all the way.I tried PartitionGuru, which, finally, could do the job � in more than 48 hours of disk scan! And it reported: "Disk verify completed. 548 bad track areas found."After all that, things went worse: I couldn't start Windows, I got a "Missing operating system" message...Then I tried Wondershare LiveBoot 2012 to no avail.The last effort I want to try is use some portable app (running from a USB pen drive) to format the whole HDD.The HDD in question has three partitions. C: (system), D: (data, I created this partition), and a hidden one that keeps the data needed to restore the Acer notebook to its factory settings.If I succeed to format the whole thing, I'll try to make a fresh install of Windows 7 Home Premium. I want to format the whole HDD (from a USB pen drive) to have one single partition.

Feb 23, 2012I made a chkdsk and found errors which were repaired by not allowing the bad fragments to be written on. When I use chkdsk /v it continually shows 8kb in bad sectors. Does anyone know if these are the bad sectors that were sent into limbo or the total bad kb on the hard drive? I have made back ups of my documents and the OS. I think that these bad sectors were caused by a recent freeze which required a bad shutdown. If so I may not be required to replace the harddrive.

If I allow SeaTools to "repair" the bad sectors, will I be able to boot into Windows 7 again so I can at least save my data before replacing the hard drive?

Apr 17, 2009I get my PC configured and set up exactly how I like it, and then my 1 year old hard drive conks out on me!
I did a CHKDSK and it had some bad sectors and plenty of file corruption. Ran the Hitachi DFT software and it seemed to think it has rescued it, but I'm using another drive now just in case.
Luckily I could still access my e-mails when I accessed the drive from another system, and everything else is backed up via Acronis.
Windows 7 Finally Installed / Bad Sectors?
Jan 17, 2012I've been having problems with installing a fresh OS because my harddrive. When I began the clean installation process my hard drive started clicking periodically (which didn't happen till I started) I was able to partition around these bad sectors and get the OS installed. I am now sitting at a clean desktop with the computer running fine.However, I know that these bad sectors will cause problems later and I'm wanting to know what I should do now. Is there anything I can do to kill these bad sectors and ensure my hard drive to stay proper? I realize that this shows my hard drive is going bad, but I feel if I can get this taken care of then I can keep the hard drive a while longer.

Jan 18, 2012I have installed windows 7 x64, the installation went fine, it runs fine, no bsods, no crashes, no restarts, no freezes, no slowdown. Basically it just runs fine, all updates installed fine.
Now, I did a scan on the HDD, and it has bad sectors pending. I imaged the windows to another HDD.Loaded onto the other HDD, it boots fine, runs fine, idles fine, installed a few things, checked the files system, ran chkdsk ( just fix box, not the second box to repair ), all OK.So my question is, how can I know if the bad sectors on old HDD had any damage to the windows installation, and thus on the new HDD?
