Adobe flash player versus my SDD drive

CHKDSK is verifying files (stage 1 of 3)
File record segment 7372 is unreadable.
Errors found.

Concurrently, I'm getting the same flash player error again.
Unfortunately, this time using Adobe's uninstall routine is not
correcting the problem. Using Firefox 8.0.1. Last time it seemed
to have been something to do with upgrading Firefox. But then, now
there is the SDD CHKDSK disk error.

I don't understand the CHKDSK error, but I'm not confident that
hardware is at fault. The SDD drive SMART shows no errors.
Apparently it's Adobe flash player related (plugin-container.exe),
but I suppose it could have to do with the SDD drive as well. One
and/or the other seems to be at fault.

I might try one of the suggestions in a much more recent thread,
to update the SDD firmware. Or I will revert back to a Firefox 3
install, my prior (next recent) copy of Windows, I just upgraded
to Firefox 8. A third possibility is to ditch the SDD and reinsert
the Western Digital Raptor as primary drive.

First things first, make fresh backups...

I meant "SSD".

Also... Macrium Reflect reports an error when trying to copy
Windows. But recently that has been resolved somehow, too busy to
remember how.

FWIW. Constructive comments are welcome, but I am not necessarily
asking for help at this time. Recording this partly to help with
accurate troubleshooting of what might be a difficult system
problem (as in "maybe SSD drives are fishy").

So I booted to the Macrium Reflect CD and restored a prior copy of
Windows. And the (SSD) CHKDSK error is gone. I guess that suggests it
was not a hardware problem. Weird IMO.

No, it suggests that the disk segment is currently unused.
You have a timebomb waiting to go off.

So the bad sector isn't marked as such. Do a surface test and see
what happens.

Not necessarily. If your SSD has a bad bit on it, you may have just not
written to it when you restored the drive. It may show up again if you
try to write to that particular spot in the future.

Nothing catastrophic has happened, but had some weird system
behavior and another disk error popped up (at least three so far).
Disconnected the SDD and used Macrium Reflect to put windows back
on my Raptor. Oh well, apparently another OCZ Vertex SDD bites the
dust.

Before buying another SDD, will pay attention to whether improper
shutdown (hard reset, whatever) can damage it.

After noticing the first CHKDSK errors, I re-applied the most
current firmware. The behavior is fishy. Conceivably, it could
need a firmware upgrade, one that they haven't supplied.
