The Pending Sector Count (C5) raw value indicates sectors that may (or may not) have an issue. It is only a possibility that the sector may be bad, it needs to be tested to determine if it is a true...

Welcome to Ten Forums.

The Raw values are the significant ones. There were two Pending Sectors, ones that had been flagged as (possibly) being weak sectors. The full format allowed the drive's internal controller to test...

Good, I suspected that it might. Pending Sectors are only potentially weak, and can easily be just a false alarm. A few years back I bought a used external HDD that had some 100 or so Pending...

It still could be an ID problem, it certainly was in the example I quoted. The ID was incorrect, so reagentc /enable couldn't find a suitable recovery partition. In that case it's fall-back...

Morning.

Doesn't look like I'll see the 70's any time this month - darn, I'll be lucky if I even see the 60's.....

Hello Charlie

A quick format does NOT reset the pending sector count. You MUST perform a Full format in order to test every sector.

You can remove all partitions in one go using Diskpart. List the disks, make...

Good morning Ken.

Sad to hear that. I've seen off my parents, my wife, and quite a few of my old work collogues by now. It's never easy. :grouphug:


:ditto:

Good morning Josey.

Afternoon Andre.

Rained most of the morning, but it's mostly sunny with a few showers this afternoon. Windy though, and won't get any higher than 11°C/52°F.

Morning all.

Mid morning, it has just stopped raining and the sun is out. It's sunshine and showers for the rest of today. I should see 11°C/52°F later this afternoon.

Welcome to Ten Forums.

This error may be seen if the recovery partition is still too small. Assuming that is not the case, use diskpart to check the ID of your recovery partition, resetting it if...

Plenty of help to be found here. There's an extensive tutorials section: Windows 10 Tutorial Index

Evening Mike, how's the 'beast' now? Got your bios issues sorted yet?

The values that are important to look at are the Raw values, for Reallocated Sectors your screenshot says 'zero'. However, until the drive's internal controller has a chance to test the two sectors...

Evening Andre.

Temps have already dropped to around the seasonal norm. It was 13°C/56°F here today. At least is was dry with sunny intervals. Showers are set to arrive tomorrow and stay for a few...

Hello Charlie

Morning computiac

Good morning Borg.

My mild spell is over for now. Back to the seasonal norm of mid 50's today, but staying dry and bright. A few days of showers expected from Monday on.

Good morning Ghot.



Is that in anticipation of total loss on its maiden flight? Or just that you enjoyed the process so much you can't stop yourself... :D

Good morning Josey.

I put all mine in C:\Portable Apps (its a good name to use because alphabetically it's right next to Program Files). When I build a new PC with a clean install I just copy my Portable Apps folder to...

Morning/afternoon all.

Dry and sunny here, above average temps of 16°C/66°F this afternoon.
Tomorrow the temps drop to a more typical 13°C/55°F, then on Monday the showers arrive.
