Current Pending Sector Count
Hi all.
I had a failed backup on my laptop with Acronis True Image today. Tried a second time, and same thing.
I then loaded Crystal Disk and it shows a warning with current pending sector count in yellow.
Same with HDD Tune
I then did a chkdsk and it replaced some bad clusters to do with a game iso.
I uninstalled the game and deleted the game iso. Then ran Acronis backup again and it successfully backed it up this time.
Checked Crystal Disk again but still the same warning.
So I'm wondering what the implications are of the current pending sectors and if it's repairable? I also don't know if the backup failing was due to those bad clusters that were later replaced. Thanks for any advice :)
Oh,I should mention that this backup was after an Acronis restore, and I had used killdisk to wipe the drive before restoring. In fact, I've used killdisk a lot on this drive, could that have created the issue?
