Bad sector in the hard disk
Hi All,
I am having Dell Inspiron 1510 with Windows 7 64bit. For the last few months I am having issues with my OS like:
1. I find "The driver detected a controller error on \Device\Ide\IdePort0" error logged into the Event Viewer almost everyday
2. Almost once in a month my system goes to the "Startup Repair" mode and after some diagnostics it says it was unable to fix the error automatically. I tried to restore it to a previous point but I found a error that No OS found.
In the last 4 months, I had to re-install OS 4 - 5 times. Yesterday I ran HD Tune on my hard disk which shows a bad sector (screen shot attached).
Is it the bad sector which is causing above mentioned 2 problems? If so how can I get rid of it?
