I would assume that it means it had bad sectors in areas that were in use so it moved these sectors to another area of the drive.

Hi,
Reading your post i downloaded the hdtune file and ran it on my
system. In the health tab,
It yellow highlighted "reallocated sector count" because
the current count was 100 which was the upper limit for
the worst. The manual said
if anything was yellow to keep an eye on it, back up your data, etc.
Do you happen to know what reallocated sector count is? I
couldn't find it in the manual.
Thanks,
mike
