running a program called ViVARD because some old drive i am trying to throw windows 10 on is being fucky (just outright not working)
found a handful of bad sectors, each fairly far apart from the others. they all were found and immediately repaired, but two just stayed as a red x. takes forever to run this is it worth trying again or is this a telltale sign the drive is too fucked?
depending on the drive you might be able to low level format and remap it.
but generally when a hdd starts creating a bad sector map and gets to the point it cant map new sectors.
the drive is about done.
fair warning this will completely wipe your drive and allow you to create a new layout map.
so make double sure you have the right drive selected before use.
if your lucky the new map will let you avoid the part of the disk that is damaged.
thanks for the reply, i fiddled with it more to declare the drive dead mechanically. bookmarked that stuff though might come in handy later
