I went and downloaded crystal disk info recently because programmes like chrome and sometimes skype had been crashing lately. Turns out that my hard drive has got a "caution" health status on it and has 2 errors; one is: current pending sector count: 8, and the other is: uncorrectable sector count: 7. I was just wondering if this is a big problem, and whether or not there is a solution to fix it, however this drive does not have my OS on it, only my games, so it isn't that huge of a deal. Thanks in advance.
 
current pending sector not sure what it is but the other it is bad, you need to keep backups of everything you have because that one means that the hard disk has been having problems writing or reading on parts of the disc

it is possible that keeps finding sectors with the same problem so the problem will be getting worse, it is wise to have a plan b, like a new hard disk
 


Do you think that it could have been caused by the fact that I migrated my OS from my hard drive to my ssd some time ago??
 
the errors are generated by the ssd?

that is a different situation and i read it wrong then

sorry, you should have shared all the info related to the specs in the beginning

please run cristaldisk info on that ssd and share a picture of it, something like this

No don't worry, you didn't read it wrong, I was just saying that the fact I migrated my OS from HDD could have caused it to have these errors;

Also the uncorrectable error has disappeared since yesterday which seems odd.
 


No, i know it's a hard drive, i've been talking about my hard drive all along lol. Anyway, I was mainly wondering if there was a way to fix the problem without having to zero my drive, because i dont want to have to re-download all my games because my internet is quite frankly shit lol.
