Hello, i have a 1.5 Tb seagate disk (NTFS format) when i check with crystal disk info it notices me reallocate sector count (12/36)
i want to use this hdd for a short time more (And to copy data to other disk ) ,and i have some problems which i'm not sure about ,please help : 1. when i copying the data from this disk to other hdd , I wonder is it needed to isolate/mark the bad sector (without formatting/recreating partition the disk ), sothat we can protect the bad data copied/writed (in my case the reallocate sector count has not reached thresold, is it needed ?) 2. is there anyway to know if the data is on the bad sector - when copying ,accessing ? (is there any error noticed ? ) 3. i read some similar topic and found HDAT2 and windows check disk tools ,but i'm not sure if them can isolate/mark the bad sector permanently (such as when we format the disk,is the marked bad sector still isolated/marked ? (not included new bad sectors appear after scanning) if using windows check disk tool ,should we use which way ? 1. use tool=> option =>check disk 2 .or use CHKDSK [drive letter] /F /R (i don't know if '/f/r' it's correct in my case ,please tell me which i should type in this case for best result 4. please tell me which program can isolate/mark the bad sector faster (or if you know any better tool ,please tell me) Thank you very much
