Hi
It depends on which file and whether it is critical or not. I have seen the following symptoms when a hard drive has bad sectors in "C:" drive's area.
1. Windows won't boot past the glowing logo screen.
2. Windows won't load the desktop and may stuck at a black screen with mouse cursor.
3. Very slow booting.
4. Booting stops with one of the following BSOD screens.
STOP 0x07A KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR
STOP 0x0ED UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME
STOP 0x07B INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE
STOP 0x0F4 CRITICAL_OBJECT_TERMINATION
5. Booting stops with an error message complaining \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM is missing or corrupt.
However those symptoms can be also caused by other issues. So i would recommend running a full diagnostics of the disk by using "Seagate Seatool" which supports all manufacturer's hard drives.
