I have a teeny weeny problem I have 2 HDDs one is 160GB and works well the other is 320GB and used to not work well.
ya see when i plugged it in like a week before the computer lagged it kept getting disconnected and had a ton of Bad Sectors and Delays but when I checked it with HDD regenerator before I was about to throw it out it found 10 bad sectors and recovered them and 1 delay and then I stopped it coz it was gonna take 21 hours(holy shit, right?) then I booted the computer and it wasn't lagging anymore... ran chkdsk/r on all disks fixed some formatted the ones with bad clusters....and then I thought YAY my HDD works! I shut dowwn the computer and went to sleep... when I woke up I ran chkdsk again and the same bad clusters returned in one of the disks (WTF?)... so anyone know what's the deal?

well there's nothing really important on them just some songs and videos my Q is why did the bad clusters return? doesn't formatting just wipes them out
