Harddisk0 has a bad block

Recently, I got the error "device harddisk0 has a bad block" in Event Viewer and this has happened two times at the same time. I looked at and most people say that I do not understand is that I had this error before on another computer and the hard drive still works fine, but it is the failure of hard drive and it was many years ago that there are errors of disk on that computer. Is it possible that this means not always that hard drive is a failure?   Thank you

Blocks will bad for various reasons from head crashes to interruptions of current momentary when writing.  A few blocks will wrong here there is no major cause for concern, but if you start to get multiple occurrences then you should start thinking about replacing drive... and certainly to keep your current backups.  The only thing you should do when you start getting bad blocks must be running a full disk check (chkdsk with the option/r or f).  It detects bad blocks and formally to mark these blocks as being 'wrong' for the operating system do not.  It should also avoid getting several warnings for the same bad block bad block.

    I have a Dell Dimension 2400 with Win XP PRO SP3. It keeps closing after half an hour to an hour. The event viewer shows the following error in the system log: \Device\Harddisk0\D, has a bad block

    Speed stop?

    Unexpected/unpredictable and quick stops are generally caused by overheating or bad RAM modules.  This happens too fast to create an entry in the newspapers.  Try downloading / running the freeware 'CoreTemp'.  It will show you how hot your CPU is getting and how close to maximum temperature, it is.  If this is your problem, open your folder and check your fans to make sure they turn all.  Use a can of compressed air to remove dust, because it can act like a blanket and heat your components.

    To solve your problem of bad block, run "Chkdsk" with the 'repair' or ' / R ' option.  This should clean up your bad block problem.

  • "The device, \Device\Harddisk0\DR0, has a bad block" on Dell Vista SP2

    I am repeatedly getting the error "the device, \Device\Harddisk0\DR0, has a bad block." in the event viewer. Recently, I fixed a security problem that prevented me to install windows updates. For this, I ran CHKDSK (see results below), System File Checker, and a complete analysis of the system of McAfee, spybot and Malwarebytes, both in security and the good start. How can I check for errors on my HARD disk?

    --------------------------------------------
    My problem earlier wire: http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/is/genuinevista/thread/60c76236-abd2-4fea-8980-007f424a8eb0

    Although most things seem to work very well, "the device, \Device\Harddisk0\DR0, has a bad block." error still occurs in the event viewer despite the installation of updates/CHKDSK and SFC. Check the results of said disc 'the volume is clean' and the System File Checker showed no errors. Windows resource protection did not find any breach of integrity. Any ideas, what is happening?

    In addition, I don't know if this is related, but a problem with the wireless network connection keeps recurring. "Windows wireless service" is not automatically start during the boot. It must manually be diagnosed and started. He gave the following error message:

    In network connections, the IPv4 and IPv6 protocols are verified and most up-to-date driver software is installed. When I tried to update the drivers under devices, I got the following message. "The best driver for your device is already installed. Windows has determined that the driver for your device software is up-to-date.

  • How do I unlock "the disc has a bad block"?

    "My computer information" error log has about 200 "legacy - disc - has a bad block."

    I did Defrag, disk cleanup and eraced of things that I don't use much

    I think that the block of 'bad' is interfering with "Outlook Express" also

    Select Start, run, type cmd and press ENTER. Type "chkdsk c: /f /r" without the quotes and press ENTER. Make sure you include the spaces indicated. Enter Y when asked if you want to run chkdsk on restart the computer. Quit and then restart the computer.

    Marking bad sectors on a hard disk takes time so be patient. Delimiting does not repair a defective sector. He places pointers to the reader by saying the system not to read or write to these areas that have been damaged.

    If the number of defective sectors continued to increase after using the procedure above several times, then you should replace the disk. If an important system file is written to a bad sector, you can corrupt the registry hives and lose the entire contents of the disc.

    However if have run chkdsk you not see more new bad sectors, then the reader can work for you for years.

  • NTFS-bad blocks

    Hello
    A couple of times a day, I get this error in the event viewer:

    The device, \Device\Harddisk0\D, has a bad block

    I don't know what it means,

    (a) I have a couple of new bad blocks each day, or
    Guard b) NTFS hit the SAME bad blocks once or twice a day

    I guess that the second. I would have thought that if the bad block allocated, NTFS self-identify as unusable. If its probably in a file.

    Yes, there is a way to establish which file (s) is affected?
    Is there a way to know how many blocks faulty NTFS think there?

    I am reluctant to let chkdsk trouble the front disc, I know what is likely to be affected.
    CHKDSK in read-only mode is a single error in the index and full custom.
    Is there a way to repair the index (without making the repair of security) so that chkdsk can complete and me with bad blocks?
    Thank you

    Usually, it's "Bad sectors", blocks probably means a larger surface area.

    The best way for a repair, is to boot to xp, to the menu of the cd installation cd,

    Press the key r (recovery console), recovery, select 1 for c:

    Press button for password. Type: CHKDSK C: /R

    Once her thru, type: EXIT

    Let xp start, remove the cd.

    In addition, bad sectors, blocks defective, only means a faulty drive, be prepared to

    replace it. If you run an IDE hd, use xps. XCOPY

    This already installed utility allows you to move all the data from the hd to another hd,

    Set the new slave, nearest to you to MB, format it, run, type: diskmgmt.msc

    Once through, go to run, tpe: XCOPY C:\*.* D:\/c/h/e/k/r

    Are for everyone in the window BACK, once its thru, youre done. D: being
