[Is it safe to defrag while downloading ?]

I have no gaming experience and cannot advise on any defrag benefit.

 

I think CHKDISK has the ability to fix bad sectors without destroying all the files.

 

I only posted because I saw the need to clarify your situation.

 

If I have a problem I can always restore from a backup image.

Your situation is outside my experience so will now leave it to others to advise you.

I will try soon the CHKDISK Solution

Not really, some load times (new areas/maps) might load faster, but you'd probably see no difference.

If you want faster loading times, you could replace your HDD with SSD, which doesn't need defragging.

Yup i see the small diffrence from loading e.x texture , load times

Defragging will have an effect on overall load time of the game, but it wont run any more smoothly (this requires a better gpu or reduced graphic settings)

Yup you true defragging can fasting load times but not the frame per second

What they said.. Defragging might shorten the load time by second or two. But that's about it.

 

Due to the amount of details involved, the time needed to gather them, education of the end-user, in addition to the overall complexity of modern filing systems and disk drive operational theory; I'm tending to stop giving direct 1-2-3 do-this advice.

 

But yes, again to answer the original poster's questions directly:

 

1- Yes it is safe to download while defragging. All the "magic management" happens in the filing system of the O/S, the registry is not involved here. If this downloading and defragging is corrupting anything, then you have a much more serious problem with Windows or your system's main RAM.

 

2- It is possible to "fix" a bad sector on a disk. Some methods are destructive, some are not. In any case, it is important to have backups.

 

A bad sector can be fixed by doing several things.

a- Secure Erase and reformatting the disk

b- Check Disk with "Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors

c- HDD regenerator / spinrite

d- Using a professional-grade utility, edit the G-list. And then verify the entire surface.

e- "low level" formatting, or zeroing the disk with .mfg. utility

f- whatever google says..

 

Of course, if the wrong tool or technique is applied in the wrong situation you can find yourself in a world of hurt.

 

In your case, if you are going to wipe the drive. Then you can format it and zero it and surface verify with the manufacturer's maintenance utility. If that does not work, then you can try HDD regenerator on the bad sector and repeat the zeroing process. A lot of this works because these actions trigger the internal disk ECC routines.

 

You might even get lucky with a standard windows format (the long version)!

 

All this depends on if it's a hard or soft damaged sector.

 

1. Got it

2.My friends say using HDD regenator can delete the bad sector

 

But , Thanks for the answer from you
