Hard drive 4% health on HDD sentinel
Recently my computer has been having blue screen and reported problems about missing bootmgrs and such, this was when windows was on my 150gb hard drive.
So i assumed the drive must be failing and have now installed windows 7 on my 1tb Seagate hard drive.
The blue screens have gone, but every now and again my computer freezes completely up and i have to restart
(The old 150gb hard drive is still connected but i only use that for random storage, nothing important runs off it, i have tried unplugging it and just using the 1tb with windows on, but it tells me to insert a bootable media when i startup)
Anyway i ran HDD sentinel, my 1tb drive has 100% health however my 150gb has 4%
There are 2367 bad sectors on the disk surface. The contents of these sectors were moved to the spare area.
The drive found 15079 bad sectors during its self test.
There are 15079 weak sectors found on the disk surface. They may be remapped any time in the later use of the disk.
3679 errors occured during data transfer. This may indicate problem of the device or with data/power cables. It is recommended to examine and replace the cables if possible.
At this point, warranty replacement of the disk is not yet possible, only if the health drops further.
It is recommended to examine the log of the disk regularly. All new problems found will be logged there.
It is recommended to backup immediately to prevent data loss.
Any ideas on how to stop this random freezing, and what course of action to take from here
