Pippo MArte Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Hi i've just bought two brand new laptops (one fujitsu HDD sata2 WD 320Gb 4200 rpm and one DELL HDD sata2 seagate 320gb 7200 rpm); when i scan the hdd's with defraggler the program shows bad clusters (see attachment) but manufacturer tools (seagate low level DOS and WD) to find and repair errors/bad clusters, find no errors. What s happening to my hard disks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramzy Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Get a tool that can read your SMART information, like Speccy, and check what your Re-allocated sector count is. This will show you a figure that relates to the amount of bad / flagged sectors that your hard drive had to evacuate whilst transferring / writing data. If you're really paranoid, you can try running a full diagnostic with the Western Digital Data Lifeguard Diagnostic tool, or you can run chkdsk on the volume with: chkdsk letter: /r example: chkdsk c: /r You should get a prompt asking you if you wish to lock handles, if you answer no, you will be prompted with another question asking if you wish to schedule a chkdsk during the next boot. Press Y and restart your computer. Observe the results routinely to see if you have any bad sectors / indexes / clusters being repaired. Hope that i was useful.
