Recently ive been facing so many issues while installing windows on my hdd. But somehow it still got installed.Problem is that when i checked my Hard disk's health using Hard Disk Sentinel software, and it showed 100% excellent on performance bar but 49% in health and it says-
"The drive found 37 bad sectors during its self test.
There are 37 weak sectors found on the disk surface. They may be remapped any time in the later use of the disk.
At this point, warranty replacement of the disk is not yet possible, only if the health drops further.
It is recommended to examine the log of the disk regularly. All new problems found will be logged there."
I only have one disk and its working just as its supposed to be no lags,freeze,crashes or whatsover, but i havent gamed on it yet. ill buy a new gpu soon, so just wanted to know if this will affect gaming performance of my system or not?
 
Solution
Your drive will just stop using those sectors and should not affect gaming or anything else.
If you have data on your drive that cant be replaced then this would be a good time to get that backed up.
