Harddisk Bad sector & not detecting (by 3 users)

Hi,

If your partitioning and/or formatting program is already reporting "bad sectors", then your best bet is to replace the hard drive. The mere presence of bad sectors indicates drive problem which in the normal course of time/usage would increase and eventually make the drive inoperable. Using such a drive as your "C" and/or to contain mission critical files may not be to your advantage.

Hope this be of some idea/help. Good luck and kind regards.
