Over the past couple months, my computer has begun having problems with Pending/Bad Sectors on my Asus Q550lf laptop, to the point that tools such as seagate seatools are reporting fails, and attempting to use chkdsk causes the amount of pending sectors to increase.
Theoretically, would it be possible to back up windows 10 to a usb, boot into a Disc-based OS, get my important files, and format the HDD in order to fix Sector problems? if not, is there another way to Fix broken sectors for little to no cost?(In addition, I only have the one hard drive.)
EDIT:If you want to know, Earlier this morning, the number of Pending Sectors was listed as A(10) while now, the amount is listed as 28(40).I am attempting to find a solution, only purchasing a new hdd if absolutely necessary.
