Right now the drive has just one reallocated sector. Your problem is the 157 sectors that are pending reallocation. Bad sectors cannot be reallocated until the next time they are written. Simply writing zeros to the whole drive will accomplish that. (For anyone who wonders why a bad sector cannot be immediately reallocated, I suggest you think about that for a while, specifically about what data will be returned when that newly allocated, error-free sector is read. Remember, the contents of the original sector could not be determined.) As long as new bad sectors don't keep appearing, the drive could remain problem free for many years. But, at some time in the past the drive overheated quite severely. Maybe that was the cause of the current crop of bad sectors, maybe not, but severe overheating can seriously shorten a drive's life, so I'd either replace the drive or use it for something non-critical just on that basis. -- Bob Nichols "NOSPAM" is really part of my email address.
