first off, sorry if the questions are retarded xD, I'm a noob
story:
> started noticing low performance and high disk usage in the task manager
> performed about 15 clean windows installations in 2 days because new nvidia drivers woud freeze every time I try to install it
> the performance began to drop significantly
> tried to performe another clean windows installation and failed every time it would freeze at copying files or the step after it
> booted linux and found this
some questions I have:
1- is reallocated sector = bad sector?
2- why does S.M.A.R.T say that the 500 reallocated sectors are alot and that the disk is failing? aren't there over 1 billion sectors in a 700GB HDD (512 b/sector)?
3- after some research on that error I found that the HDD should be replaced. is that true?
4- what should I do to prevent such a fail in the future?
NOTE: the laptop fall twice before once it was off and another it was on
