I've got some I/O errors while reading or moving/copying some files in/from Drive C recently (since 2 months ago). The whole system becomes slow for minutes. It's so slow (next to freezing... I can't open My computer and internet browsers etc. but the mouse works) that I have to press restart button. I checked them in 'Safe Mode' but there was still the same problems. I also tried programs like 'COMODO System-Cleaner' and 'Registry Easy' but they didn't help in this aspect too.

Then after using 'HD Tune' program and over 5 hours of
scanning I found out my 2 TB Western Digital HDD has
0.5% bad sector:



Answering these question will be quite helpful. Thanks in advance.

- How bad this situation is and how long will my HDD survive?

- What is the solution?
Is secluding the broken drive and not using it good enough to avoid further damages or should I buy a SSD for windows drive?

- Do you know any program to seclude bad sectors to avoid further use and freezings?

Thanks again. I knew the Geekdom of BSN has something to offer!

My HDD's bad sectors should be logical... those annoying power outages should be the reason of ruining the data and sectors while downloading. The built-in Disk Check tool should be run. Also there is no harm in opening the PC case to see if something is wrong.

Other fixes, experiences and opinions will be appreciated too.

Well, I decided to cool down this HDD by giving the responsibility of running windows to my older noisy SeaGate HDD

But I have a problem:
- How can I rename my latest driver (G:) to C: while C: is running windows? Is it possible to rename them when you are using win7 DVD boot (first step of installing)? I know there is format option there but I'm not sure If I can rename the drives. Anyone knows anything about this?

Change, add, or remove a drive letter

Not sure, but I think you need to be really careful about doing this, because heaps of things are tied to system paths that refer to drive letters. I'm not sure if Win7 is smart enough to automagically update everything for you when you change base level stuff like this.

Drives really shouldn't run hot. Modern drives are designed to be run 24/7 and if not defective work for around 5 years at full load (some large company ran extensive tests a few years ago).
