Hello there,
I have a Asus K50ID Laptop that is just past a year old and has about 2yrs of use on it (it get's worked hard everyday).
My Problem is the last few months it will run super slow at the end of the week, i will run windows check disk witch will report 60~100 bad sectors and says it repairs them. After this the laptop is back on it's feet full speed till the end of the next week then i have to do it all over again.
My Question is i can't afford a new hard drive right now (nor anytime soon) is there any trick or tips to fix the bad sectors or keep the hard drive from using them? In other words fix a hard drive that should be replaced.
FYI the laptop gets backed up every night on to a NAS so if i need to reformat or anything of the sort it's no problem if i need to. Thank you ahead of time any feedback, tips, tricks and info. Help is all ways appreciated.
