Hi, I'm not sure if this is the right place but I've been having problems.
Well... not sure how to explain this but one of my internal hard drives has been making a weird sound. It's not like a Click of Death or anything but it's weird. I don't know how to explain, and it's not constant, it only happens a few times...
I've also had some corrupt files while transferring stuff from another drive but I think I managed to fix them.
The performance had also been compromised but Windows is not that slow any more after running ScanDisk (or whatever).
The hard drive is not exactly new. It's from 2008 and I've had many headaches with it in the past but I am trying to use it again. I thought maybe the problems would be fixed. I've ran the error-checking option twice in Windows 7, made it check for bad sectors and everything, it completed successfully.
This is a clean install. I installed Windows 7 a few months ago and barely used it (since I have other computers).
I download a few tools to check my HDD's health and try to fix the bad sectors but I am not sure if I have been successful.
In CrystalDiskInfo it says "Caution" and there are three yellow "bullets".
Reallocated Sectors Count:
Current: 69
Worst: 69
Threshold: 36
Current Pending Sector Count:
Current: 91
Worst: 33
Threshold: 0
Uncorrectable Sector Count
Same thing from above.
In HDTune it says.
Health status: warning
Reallocated Sector Count:
Current: 69
Worst: 69
Threshold: 36
Data: 1271
Airflow Temperature says the threshold has been reached but I googled it and seems it is just a fluke.
Current Pending Sector:
Current: 91
Worst: 33
Threshold: 0
Data: 196
Interface CRC Error Count:
Current: 200
Worst: 25
Threshold: 0
Data: 4530
Is my hard drive dying/failing? (That seems like an obvious question but I'm clueless about this kind of thing, sorry)
I can also access data fine now with no errors (as far as I've noticed) after doing the Error-checking that came with Windows 7.
I've also opened the case and ensured that the cables were connected correctly. But maybe I need to replace them.
I also have another internal hard drive that is completely healthy.
EDIT: My HDD is a Maxtor, SATA I believe.
I also checked the Event Viewer logs and there are a bunch of Warnings/Errors saying \Device\Harddisk1\DR1 has a bad block. The last one of those is from almost 2 hours ago.
