Western Digital HD JB 7200 Problem
Hi everyone,
A problem here.... I bought the above mentioned hd about 3 months back. Recently when i boot up, winxp keeps checkin the F and G drive i realised that i had proper shut down and nothin was wrong, furthermore the disk checkin took a longer time then usual... two days back i was tryin to move all my data on these 2 partition to other partition. Damm....it took a very long time, some files in the recycle bin and files i was trying to move have give me this error: "data error, cyclic reducdancy error" it is sort of a crc error there. (so i guess perhaps a few sectors are corrupted) so i guess i lost the data there.... but anyway, i tried to repair the hd. the SMART thing told me my hd is BAD. i didnt hear any strange noise from the hd when readin from the two partition so i guess it is not a physical failure... i ve tried to format the partition but its useless... i ve oso tried checking and repair disc using the winxp check disc thing: useless i ve delete both partition and created a new one...but the full format took a long time. Any idea whats goin on? do i really have to send this hd for repair? or is there some way i can magically repair the crc thing? please anyone enlighten me...Thanks
