Hi The hard disk on a laptop shows failing error "Disk had many bad sectors' it suggests 'backup data and replace disk. Of course, this test information was generated by Palimpsest Disk Utility on F12. However, when I used self-test utility from BIOS (HP 6710), it passed all tests. Which result is reliable, one from Palimpsest Dish Utility or BIOS self-test utiltity? if this disk is failing, how can I check what section or partition where errors reside?
