i cannot say if it will fix this error, but i had very good results running HDDregenerator - it fixed many drives for me : &nbsp; <a href="http://www.dposoft.net/hdd.html" rel="ugc">http://www.dposoft.net/hdd.html</a><br />
<br />
in genereal, i use this + the manufacturer's disk Diagnostic to say if it's a GO or NO-GO<br />
you find these on the UBCD : &nbsp;<a href="http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/" rel="ugc">http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/</a>

I've recently started using CrystalDiskInfo as a pass or fail tool for hard drives.  I've been pleased with it.  My question is the errors in the screenshot, if I perform a check disk on the drive and this error still shows, does this mean the drive is bad?

This drive I've had the worst time trying to get Windows 8 Updates to install properly.  So I pulled the hard drive from the machine to test on another.  Imaging from this drive has taken much longer than it should, when booting disk check runs and the below image from CrystalDiskInfo shows problems.

CrystalDiskInfo reports disk is failing

Storage devices include any device used for storing and retrieving digital information. Hard disk drives (HDDs) use one or more rigid ("hard") rapidly rotating disks (platters) coated with magnetic material. Data is accessed in a random-access manner, meaning that individual blocks of data can be stored or retrieved in any order and not only sequentially. The primary competing technology for secondary storage is flash memory in the form of solid-state drives (SSDs), but HDDs remain the dominant medium for secondary storage due to advantages in price per bit and per-device recording capacity. CD-RW (Compact Disc-ReWritable) is a digital optical disc storage format that allows information to be stored outside the mechanical HDD.

Storage Hardware

This topic area includes legacy versions of Windows prior to Windows 2000: Windows 3/3.1, Windows 95 and Windows 98, plus any other Windows-related versions including Windows Mobile.

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.
