Hi guys

I had a problem before about an old laptop of mine, it was running very slow then started to be more and more slower until it becomes terrible to be used because of the slowness.

I send my laptop to a technician for a check-up, he told me your hard drive health is 22% and it has some problem called "Bad Cluster" causing it to be slow.

I didn't have much background about that, so my question is:
What is "Bad Cluster"?? and what is the difference between it and the "Bad Sector" ??

Thanks in advance.

That hard drive is probably dying and could be dying really soon. Don't power on the machine if you can help it. The more power on and power off you do, the sooner you will get that drive to die.

You need to clone the drive to a new drive and replace it.

I have got everything now, that's why my hard drive was getting more and more slower because it was losing its health by the time, I will be lucky if i get the chance to save my data on it cuz that technician also advised me to replace it, anyways thanks to you so much for help :) :)
