Windows 7: Error : the drive cannot find the sector requested

Error : the drive cannot find the sector requested

Hello,
I encounter this error while using torrent (both Vuze and utorrent) regularly especially with files greater than 1gb. Forcing recheck or restart does not help.





Windows 7 Ultimate x32
Core 2 CPU T7200 2ghz
2gb ram

Googling told me it could indicate hard disk failure but as shown above HD tune did not show any apparent bad sectors. I also tried CHDisk, it stated no bad sectors were found on the first step but on the 4th step (It was something about checking files) it was going nowhere so I was forced to reboot. I will try again tonight and update the results.
Should I order new hard disk? If it is failing why does HD tune say it has OK status and find no bad sectors?

Many thanks in advance

Check the hard drive with the manufacturer's diagnostic tools.
