Linux is telling me my hard drive is failing, but Windows doesn't see any major problems.

I have not lost any info or had any software problems.

I used HDD tune for the windows h.d. info.

The reallocated sector count is a little disturbing though.

The drive is considered the middle lower end of hard drives in terms of reliability.
