[SOLVED] Any way to repair or remap bad HDD sectors without losing data?

[christophergeo]

Hello,

Recently i found out that one of my HDD's has bad sectors. Its a Western Digital Black 1TB (WD1003FZEX) under Windows 10 1803.Ive ran chkdsk /f /x /r but i still had bad sectors.
Is there any way to repair the drive without losing data ? (paid or free software)

Thanks!

MHDD - scan with relocate option.
After that re-run chkdsk.

And always do backup.

I dont really have a spare of 800GB to do a backup...Is there a high possibility to lose data?

only way to find out is when you lose the drive.

Yes. And that's for any hard drive.

For any important data that isn't backed up, the only question is when you'll lose the data forever, not if.

BTW - can you show screenshot from HDtune health?

2361 pending sectors. That's a lot.
MHDD can relocate those, but if new pending sectors appear, then
consider replacement of the drive anyway.
