Hello,
Basically, Partition Magic 8.0.5 reports a physical geometry error (#108), but the two partitions on the hard drive (C:\ and E:\, it's the system-boot disk) are still accessible...
I have tested with various disk scanning programs, and no errors whatsoever are detected.
So my question is: should I do anything at all ?
Both partitions look perfectly healthy (and so they are reported in Windows "Logical Disk Manager" console), but I don't like the idea of "sitting on a potential time bomb".
It's Win XP, the disk size is 250GB, and is set to "Auto" in the BIOS (the other option being "Large").
My other question would be: If I do end up completely rebuilding the hard drive in question, and then using a ghost image of the system partition (so as to avoid re-installing Windows, and all programs etc.) to restore the C:\, would that have unwanted consequences ?
Many thanks in advance.
