Often this kind of problem can be corrected by obtaing the
manufacturers diagnostic software. For exmple in the case of
IBM/Hitachi hard disks, the Drive Fitness Test (DFT). Then the
software will detect bad sectors, move the data to good sectors and
then block-out the bad sectors so thet won't be used again.
This approach is good if it is a only a sporadic problem. If the
problem is ongoing with
Bad Sectors then a new hard disk would be warranted. However one can
use software such as
Drive Fitness Test (DFT), repair the problem and then proceed to Ghost
the disk to a
replacement hard
drive. Thus, hopefully, there will be no data loss.
Very true. In our case we had several previous laptops with the same hard drives go bad and we knew this one was due. So rather than go through running the diagnostics, we got the laptop to boot and pulled the data off. Had it been a new HD, we probably would have gone with the approach given here.
