trekky · Jul 7, 2012

im doing so work on my friend HDD and found outs its bad
i ran HDtuner 0.6% damaged then it froze
also cystaldiskinfo says "current pending sector count" what does that mean? and can i fix this HDD?

Could try doing a chkdsk

Have you tried downloading the diagnostic software from the manufacturer and running it? You will likely need an error code from that (assuming it gives one) in order to RMA it (again, assuming it is under warranty)

its under a retail warrenty

so RMA it is thx
also used Seatools and it passed! but i did other programs and well it did not pass
2 programs froze
and Ghost failed and gave Read Error

I don't think that is a value you have to worry about. Are there any other yellow ones? You could try a full platter scan with HDTune.

i did and it showed a .6% damaged also windows stopped working
i think a part of the HDD is damage because HDtune froze on a spot and spinrite (DOS version) froze also and i cant write a Ghost because it fails to read a part of the HDD (same spot every time

and no more yellow spots (besides that 1)

I would RMA it, for sure.
