Hi!
I'm really curious about hard drives and what is considered an "iffy" reallocated sector count in terms of hard drive longevity (is she ready to blow? :eek: ). My ancient Toshiba Satellite A205 Vista home basic 32bit SP2 was misbehaving when I took it to a hot, humid climate and I was sure it was on its last legs. I bought a newer Toshiba which is now having trouble and now my old Toshiba is running GREAT (back in cooler climate), with a little love I am trying to keep it alive as long as possible as it seems indestructable! Dropping it! Slamming the lid shut! Years banged about in Brasil and Africa! Ant colony invasions! TSA numbskull handling! Diskcheck is fine, harddrive says fine, but what of this reallocated count?
