Hi guys , Im new here and i wanted to ask u guys for some help .
my 1tb Seagate drive recently had a bad sector issue. week ago I used HDTunePro to see how bad it is , it showed about 200 "Reallocated sector count" I didnt care too much untill the windows got freeze screen when I wanted to lunch mozilla firefox . I knew that somthing is going wrong . I backed up all of my files on Externall HDD and tried to use some software like HDD Regenerator to Fix the problem but it didnt work , tried to format the drive with "Low Level Format Tool" but the result was the same , after spending two days the number of Reallocate sector increased to 2000 , I took it to one of HDD expert in our town and he said if there's a problem Im going to fix it . today after three days he called and said drive is just fine .
unfortunately the amount of bad sector increased to 20,000 , but drive still works ok , I put win 8.1 on it without any errors and thing. still seeking for some help . can I rely on this HDD ? or it must get replaced ?
thx in advance and sry for bad english .
