i think my hdd got corrupted, or something ( didnt go farther than post ) i re-installed windows ( its working well )

I´ve downloaded defraggler and Crystaldisk info, and defraggler says that my hdd is in good condition and crystal reports "caution" on pending sector counts.

I don't know nothing about HDD's so i was wondering if you could give me a hint on whats going on or something. :)

thanks.

edit : ok.. i clicked the caution button and set current pending sector count to 100 and the condition went from caution --> good
 
Hi

You should never run defraggler or similar programs if you suspect physical damage to hard disk sectors.

Did you format the hard disk using full not quick test ?
This can lock out bad sectors, providing the disk is not dying you can buy some time before replacing the hard disk

Most hard disk drive manufacturers have diagnostic software on their web site. .WD windows dlg runs on most brands of hard disk
