Hello,
Running Chkdsk on my computer tells me that I've got 20KB in bad sectors on
my drive. I don't know how or why this suddenly occured but I'm hoping
there is a way to recover them. Is it possible to recover bad sectors on a
disk? If so, how? I'm using a Western Digital hard drive on an Abit NF7-S
v2.0 motherboard. The drive uses an IDE interface but I have it connected
on the SATA 1 port using the Abit provided IDE to SATA (Serillel) converter
which has for many many months proven to be stable and problem free for me.
Here is an example of the CHKDSK report after looking it up in the
Application Event Viewer via Computer Management console within Windows:
