I have noticed after running a scan disk check that there is 8KBin bad
sectors on my hard drive.
From my former 20gb hard drive which was about 4 years old I had my system
cloned into a new 160gb hard drive . This was done about 4 months ago. when
the old hard drive began failing. Then yesterday, June 21 2009 I ran the scan
mentioned above and got the results at caption.
I found and printed the event log. I am advised that I need to install a new
hard drive. My questions are :-
1. Can this be resolved without having to purchase a new Hard Drive?
2. Could it be that that the old hard drive contained those bad sectors and
by reason of cloning the report of the bad sectors appears on all subsequent
disk checks but I only saw it yesterday but that it would not be a problem
nessessating the installation of a new hard drive.
Thanking you in advance for your comments and/or suggestions.
