about hdd bad sector

E

extreme

lately my hdd has been getting bad sector for about 32KB, so far it has
happenned twice in august, could it be because i have been writing and
deleting stuff to it too frequent?? because i sort of was, large size files
as well. Each time i have use maxtor powermax to fix it, and it's fine, i
compared the bytes values before and after i fix it and they are the same,
so can i assume that there is nothing serious?? just a wrongly recorded bad
sector??

thanks.

No, drives shouldn't be doing that. You should be making backups and
if the problem continues, get a new drive.
