GSX said:Thanks Wizkid,
I ran another test and got the same results and I have downloaded the makers test tool. That confirmed that there are some bad sectors. The hard drive is under warranty so I'm wondering if I should replace it now with the hassle of a complete reinstall or if 4kb of bad sector on a 500gb disc is not worth worrying about?
GSX said:One more thing! If I buy an external hard drive will I be able to back up everything on my system to it, Vista included?
Do I then simply copy it over to the new HDD? Or would I be better off reinstalling from disc where I can and just backup things I don't have discs for?
