crystaldiskinfo caution current pending sector count 1

question perhaps there is a good forum that any one knows of where this could be answered? I doubt it since so far So far WildersSecurity always got me the right answers so far.Īgain thanks for your most valuable input and help on this.CrystalDiskInfo showing a caution warning for you drive and highlighting ID C5 Current Pending Sector Count? Here’s what you need to know about this S.M.A.R.T attribute: If this is not the right place to ask these sort of HDD S.M.A.R.T. I hope these are not too many questions for one post, however I guess they all fit in the same category. How would I go about running Chkdsk on it with what parameter to fix the current pending sector count? This HDD is about half full with sensitive info. I need to learn how to interpret this values correctly so that it makes sense to me. Why are the current and worst values the same. On the other hand this one shows current pending sector count as 47 and the worst value as 47 as well. This is also the new HDD as you can see from the power on hours. Here the uncorrectable sector count is 100 and the worst value is 100 as well but it shows fine, as in a blue dot next to it. Here the uncorrectable sector count is 100 and the worst value is 100 showing a yellow caution dot. There are two other HDDs that show caution as well. x ? or /r or something else?Īltogether I am properly confused about the CrystalDiskInfo values. as well as at the MS Chkdsk documentation but still have no clue what parameter to include with the command. I have had a good look at the Wiki S.M.A.R.T. What about the pending sector count? Could I use the MS Chkdsk command for example to fix those sectors? The HDD is empty so there is no fear of loosing data. The HDD seems to read fine mounted through the QuickPort I have, in fact Windows 'Disk Management' shows it as error free. If any one has done this before I am very happy about any information on it, otherwise if there are links to detailed tuts about this that would be excellent as well. How would I go about making a partition round the reallocated sector? I have no clue about this. analysis done by CrystalDiskInfo still be used to install the OS by making a partition around the reallocated sector? Would this be a wise move or rather risky since the HDD could blow any time soon, no?
