Hard Drive Errors?

[Ryanm353]

Hi there,

System mechanic, and advanced system care keep reporting to me that ive got hard drive errors, it then restarts my system and repairs these errors but they keep coming back..can i get help? This is a brand new 1TB hard drive aswell. Any help would be appreciated..

Your drive probably is not good and you will probably have to return it. You can verify this by unplugging the drive, plugging it into another computer and run the manufacturer's drive test program on it.

Hi there Ryanm353,

Most probably some bad sectors appear and the system is repairing them. If this is the case, the drive will eventually fail. Until you resolve the issue, I would advise you to back up the important data that is on the drive.
Apart from that, it will be a good idea to download a brand specific testing tool as bootcher already suggested and test the drive. The test results will show you whether there is something wrong with it.

Hope this will help,

Examine the SMART report using a tool such as CrystalDiskInfo, HD Sentinel, or HDDScan.

Look for reallocated, pending, or uncorrectable sectors.

HDDScan's surface test will identify any "slow" sectors whereas tools such as Data LifeGuard and SeaTools will not.

it is possible that new hard dives has bad sectors. you need to check bad sectors to the drive. if it does have bad sectors, you will have to return it for a new one.
