So yesterday I fragmented my disk and optimized it with iobit advanced systemcare pro 6. Today I started up skype but when I log in it said something like HDD I/O error.
So I installed CrystalDiskInfo and it gived my 2 errors: Current Pending Sector Count and Uncorrectable Sector Count.
Here is a pic:

Can somebody tell me how to fix this? I googled something and I don't understand all those sector things. I have a 1Tb Caviar green that is about 4-5 years old in my HP pc.
Also 2 years ago I replaced my cd drive with another cd drive because the old was totally ruined (you don't want to know how) and since then I got only 600GB instead of the 917GB in Windows.
And also. If it can't be fixed, when will my HDD fail?

Zied.

It looks like you had 1 sector fail and the data in it was not recoverable.
Please make sure you have a current backup of any important data on it, which you should have anyways. The drive could last several years or fail completely in 2 minutes; just as new drive could which is why you should always have a backup of your important files/data.
