    Error : the drive cannot find the sector requested


    Hello,
    I encounter this error while using torrent (both Vuze and utorrent) regularly especially with files greater than 1gb. Forcing recheck or restart does not help.





    Windows 7 Ultimate x32
    Core 2 CPU T7200 2ghz
    2gb ram

    Googling told me it could indicate hard disk failure but as shown above HD tune did not show any apparent bad sectors. I also tried CHDisk, it stated no bad sectors were found on the first step but on the 4th step (It was something about checking files) it was going nowhere so I was forced to reboot. I will try again tonight and update the results.
    Should I order new hard disk? If it is failing why does HD tune say it has OK status and find no bad sectors?

    Many thanks in advance

    Check the hard drive with the manufacturer's diagnostic tools.

I'm trying to educate myself on cloning i.e. bootable sector-by-sector replication, not just creating an image file of the used disk space. So far, I've bought a high performance HDD of the wrong size, trying to make sure that I replace it with an HDD with which my first cloning attempt will go...
