    No, the hard drive had no errors. It passed the system test OK. I think the problem was boot software

    Know your chkdsk /r command.


    CHKDSK /R attempts to use spare disk sectors, if any are available, to take the place of damaged sectors it finds, and then marks the original sector as “bad”, indicating it should no longer be used.

    This is possibly due to several things. Proper BIOS/UEFI configuration, how the ISO was burned to the USB drive, what type of USB port, etc.
