rjz Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Warning:I would run more than just a bad sector test. Run all hd tests. Also do these tests every month if you suspect failure. Tempature does play a role. Sometimes bad sectors can lead to other problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripken204 Posted August 5, 2005 Author Share Posted August 5, 2005 (edited) its in a laptop and sometimes i touch the bottom of the laptop, right where the hdd is, and it burning like crazy, speedfan gets it close to 70C sometimesalso i ended up just reinstalling windows b/c i tried all last night to make it work Edited August 5, 2005 by ripken204 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arvindK Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 HDD Regenerator should help you out by rewritting the bad sector'. Though it's not free, but there's a trial version which recovers a few sector's maybe that would be all you need. About the overheating of the drive, I've noticed that by freeing up space helps out.
