Hello,
this is the situation. I scanned my hard drive with HD Tune Pro and it found 2 damaged blocks - in SMART the Current pending sector count = 2. I have erased the drive (no valuable info on it) with Hitachi WinDFT. After the erasure I have used the Advanced test and it completed successfully. I reinstalled my OS but HD Tune Pro still shows 2 Current pending sectors. I scanned for errors with HD Tune and this time NO damaged blocks. But why in SMART the Current pending sector count is still 2 - shouldn't have they been fixed after the zero fill (erasure) of the drive?

Thanks for your help!
