[QUOTE="show-Zi, post: 999962, member: 69581"] Crystal Disk Info allows you to see the status of bad sectors in a little more detail. [ATTACH]268702[/ATTACH] Please check this item. If the situation is really dangerous, the values of these items will change. 05-Sectors already disabled by the system and replaced C5 - Sector still in use with error C6 - unrecoverable sector I'm guessing it could also be a false positive by the HD sentinel. S.M.A.R.T cached data may cause false detections. In that case, the procedure to remove the internal battery and discharge the PC for about an hour will be effective. However, it also resets the BIOS settings. [/QUOTE]
