hello, I have the same problem as shown in other post,

- 05 Reallocated Sector Count 36 100 100 2 OK: el valor es normal

showme 2 reallocated sectors, but, I changed the hard drive 2 times already, is apparently well 2 days and then begins to appear that error (is an extra hard drive), I have 2 (500GB each, Seagate), the hard drive with the reallocated sector count is not the disk with the system

Why after a few days now showing this error?, I change the hard disk with a new one 2 days ago and I did change 2 times

very weird

sorry for my bad English
thanks

Maybe your hard disk is prone to physical shocks. I'm just guessing, since I haven't seen such weird issue before. A growing number of reallocated sectors usually mean the disk drive's condition is slowly getting worse, and so it should be replaced. But having the same issue with 3 brand new drives, one after other is very odd.

I do not know if have correlation, before the problem appeared, I was playing warcraft that is installed on that disk, and suddenly the game close without seeing any message, only close, the next day I went back to see the sectors damaged, the program will be wrong to interpret that?
or the motherboard will have some fault?
very very odd
sorry for my very bad english again
thanks

p.d.
mi pc is a desktop located in a place without vibration

I don't think playing a game could cause bad sectors. The motherboard could be blamed, but in most cases when the drive controller (on the motherboard) or the cables are faulty, then data (CRC) errors come up, and not physical drive errors (bad sectors). I'm afraid I'm not in a position to diagnose this issue from here sad.gif

omg sad.gif
So the program can be sending erroneous information with no bad sectors for any failure on the motherboard, cables, or controller correct?
How do I check if there are really bad sectors?
thanks

No, I didn't mean that. What I meant is when either the drive controller, motherboard or cable is at fault, the drive wouldn't produce bad sectors, but instead CRC errors come up in Windows (ie. data corruption occurs). Data corruption is a logical issue, while a bad sector means a physical issue in most cases.


Regards,
Fiery

Does the last question, then reallocated sectors count, are appearing for data corruption?
Or should I switch back to hard disk for the fourth time?
thank you very much for your efforts in trying to help me with my problem

Reallocated sectors do not appear when logical data corruption occurs.

You can try a 4th drive, but I'd try to pick one from another manufacturer.
