If It is a bad sector, then you would could use DFT(Drive Fitness Test). First of all, **backup your all data**. Next, download Drive Fitness Test. http://www.hitachigst.com/hdd/support/table.htm Downloads -> [Drive Fitness Test] download a CD image -> burn it to CD-R After boot from CD-R, choose [2. ATA support only] if you won't check for SATA drive. select it Up and Down to test for your drive and start [Advanced Test]. *Caution*: An Advanced Test takes very long time becuase that checks a all sector. (Perhaps it will take about a hour as your HDD) And if that found a bad sector, then correct it. After this check, you would must fsck by using LiveCD or Knoppix before boot system.
