Some folks might point you to SpinRite -- and claim it can repair bad sectors; but actually, it can't.
Certainly, a new drive is the way to go, and the sooner you get one, the less additional damage/corruption will happen on your current drive, and the better the chance that you'll be able to save everything. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom OS Win7 Pro 32-bit, Win7 Home 32-bit CPU AMD 4400/Intel 915 Motherboard ASUS/Intel Memory 2GB DDR 400 Graphics Card ATI X1600/Builtin Intel 915 Sound Card Bluegear B-Enspirer/Builtin sound Monitor(s) Displays Samsung 24" widescreen Screen Resolution 1920x1200/1024 x 768 |

All chkdsk does when it "repairs" bad sectors is mark them as bad so the disk doesn't use them. They're still bad - physically bad. Once a drive starts having errors, it will get worse over time. Either the heads will be damaged or the platter or both.
If you do nothing else, back up your data now!

YES , you are right guys, thereis no way to repaire Bad sectors, in my case it gets worse, when I checked my HDD by some software tools besides checking it using chkdsk , it says it has more than 334 bad sectors and the software is only able to recover 166,, so it is just a waste of time trying to repair the bad sectors, I have already order a new HDD 500GB, and waiting for it to install EVERYTHING,,, my worry now can i install my windows as genuine one using the COA sticker , my hardware is changed as I am installing new HDD.. YOU CAN SEE IN THE TWO PICTURES THE RIGHT ONE WITH SOFTWARE TOOLS AND THE LEFT ONE USING CHKDSK commaned. | My System Specs | | |

Hi Golden, thanks lots for the reply,, i have just posted another thread about this, i thought the right place for my question is not here.. any way i have a problem when i installed the latest official Windows 7 installer ISO with SP1 from microsoft web site,, and then i burned it using windows7 tool buut after the burn finished , i checked the DVD and found that ,the DVD shows 0 byets used and 0 bytes free, what do you think the problem, do you think i should download the Windows 7 installer iso for Windows 7 home preimum again.....
many thanks for the help and reply ....
by the way i found the problem for why my original windfows was so slow ,it was due to the HDD bad sectores and i did mistake when i thought factory restore will solve my problem . and insted of sloving the problem i lost my factory restore option after installing the fresh Windows 7 professional,, we r always learning | My System Specs | | |

I'd probably download it again and maybe try another burner. ImgBurn is highly regarded.
