Is there any solution for my hard disk?


When I used the software speedfan he gave a warning ...
"Caution: reallocated Sector count is less than the average limits and in the description, he said:" your hard drive has reassigned 731 sectors (this value is very large and your hard drive must be replaced). The hard drives have spare sectors (typically 256 to 1024) used to replace bad. This identification process is transparent to the end user. Anyway, this may lead to degraded performance (because remapped sectors are in different parts of the original disc and the chief needs additional movement). If reassigned sectors grow over time, you may encounter serious problems. A backup data more important is suggested anyway. "
Is there a solution to that? Only experienced users please

If I were you I would first check for see how fast the number of sectors reassigned (731) is increasing. You still have some 293 sectors alternative left. Calculate how long it will take to using each of them. Do not panic:)

The best solution is to get a new hard drive and move all your important files to it. Keep the old hard drive and use it for temporary data until it hits the bucket.

You should run this test once a time and see if the sector re-count increases. If you receive new bad sectors each week, then the player is on his way.

Multiplying bad sectors will not be erase the entire contents of the hard disk, at worst, you will end up with corrupted files - there is no need to panic.

First .... Back up your data. Execute chkdsk, a defrag and scandisk (a little help), but unfortunately you HD is about to fail. Back up now and go shopping for a new ... There is no other way . Sorry

defragment your hard drive. This group will be together, to minimize movement of the head, and increase performance.
