Hard disk is failing? Error message"File record segment is unreadable"
Yesterday when I switch on my computer, it automatic diskcheck on my E disk. I have 3 HDD, which is C: (My main partition, installed Windows on this HDD), D: is for all my game files (Installed games) and E: is for all my music, movies, game installer, software etc.
So back to the point, when I switch on my computer, and get to the "Windows is Starting", and it stuck right there for about 5-10 minutes. Firstly, I have no patient so I restated the computer, and second or third time also have the same problem. So I choose to wait patiently, after 5-10 minutes, it have a black screen for about 1 to a few minutes, then it started the disk check on my E drive.
Once the process started ( I have total 234240 file record as shown on the disk check ) and continue to file record 800, it started to give me message stated "File record segment 800 is unreadable, File record segment 801 is unreadable" and so on, and sometimes it continue to go smoothly without the message, but not long or sooner it will appear again. Almost the whole process I get these message which worried me, and I wonder if my hard disk is failing badly and unable to recover.
It continues to finish the process and attempt to fix the bad sector. And after that it successfully log onto Windows, so I can use it normally again.
But I notice my E: HDD cannot access and the "My Computer" screen is loading very slow, and sometimes goes unrespond. One thing very weird is that after I few hours I log on to Windows, it pop up a message saying "Do you want to scan and fix Removable Drive". Then I choose to scan and fix it, and it goes the same process which scanning the file record and everything, and it fixes some bad sector.
I done two things with the statement I said on top (Red colour word), first, I did not run the scanning and fixing and continue to use my Windows, the second attempt was I do the scanning and fixing.
When everything is done, I can see that "My Computer" runs is a little bit faster when I double click on "My Computer", but it doesn't remains long. After I few test or trying to access to the E: HDD, everything back to the same problem again. I cannot access the HDD again....
So what should I do about it?
I haven't restarted my PC for now when I posted this post, because I still want to use my computer, so I'm waiting for reply. I hope you guys can help me out.
