Hi,
I'm in the fortunate position of having two identical computers. One was a second had "rebuild" that blue screened occasionally. Scan Disk usually found the dodgy sectors and it worked OK for a while
I decided to image my good computer and load it to the "dodgy" one. It crashed a couple of time initially but then worked really well for a week before blue screening again.
I've run VAIO HD diagnostics and it failed the funnel test and recomended running Scan Disk again. I did this and it found bad sectors it couldn't repair.
I ran the VAIO hardware diagnostics again and it failed the funnel test again.
If the hard drive knows which sectors are bad can I just reload the system image again and assume that it won't write anything to the damaged sector and therefore will work again?
Or is that just too simplistic!
Regards,
Jerry
