Hard Disk Event ID 7
I got this error on one of my disks last night;
Log: System
Type: Error
Event: 7
Agent Time: 3:01:10 am 12-Mar-10
Event Time: 2:01:10 pm 11-Mar-10 UTC
Source: disk
Category: None
Username: N/A
Computer: ********
Description: The device, \Device\Harddisk1\DR3, has a bad block.
I have since found out this is the removable 500GB hard drive I use for backups on this server. I use two and rotate between them, this disk has been down for three days I can see now.
Is there a way to recover the data from the two successful backups it did on Monday and Tuesday night, or should I just run some diagnostics and see what is wrong?
Under disk management it is coming up as not initialized and the volume is unallocated, this is a reasonably new disk as I had disk failure on the other backup disks around 3 months ago.
I get this event log error now when I try initialize the disk;

Any ideas where to go from here?

Yes it is in an enclosure, which I bought new enclosures along with the new discs when I replaced them.
Try switching the enclosure with the one you know works so you can rule that out.

Good idea. Im heading out on site now to test it out in my laptop too. Then if it fails i'll swap enlosures and re-test.
The error im getting when im trying to re-initialize the drive in disk management is a crc error, not in the event logs but I get a crc error saying it can initialize because of that.

i have found that many disks with reading problems can be recovered with HDD Regenerator : http://www.dposoft.net/
and before you ask : it recovered already 3 drives -unbootable, unreadable, and diagnosed BAD by the diag software !
beautiful thing is : the oldes is in use nearly 2 years now - with out problems, and none came back...

On the other hand, it could just be a bad disc. Good Luck!!
