Hard Disk appears to be failing
Hi, I installed Win7 RTM x64 in October on a brand new Samsung F3 1TB drive and it's been fine since then.. until yesterday, when I got my first BSOD with "ataport.sys" to blame. I then CHKDSK'd my drive and it found no problems. I couldn't find anything on Google with ataport.sys that seemed relevant, so I installed a program to monitor hard disk health (using S.M.A.R.T): HD Tune Pro.
It listed Current Pending Sector Count as "2", which was worrying, since this is an unuseable sector. Well, today I still haven't BSOD since that first one but the sector count is now at "6" (it was 4 this morning). Is this disk going to die? I'm worried.
Edit: It's 7 now.
Edit 2: It's 8 now. Uhh
