Default Need to find drive with bad block



Event Viewer: "The device, \Device\Harddisk0\DR0, has a bad block."

Got a Windows 10 BSOD, possibly from writing to a bad block.


It should not happen on a write, but on a read.

The disk firmware, when asked to write on a bad sector, writes instead
on a reserved spare sector and maps it, so that the computer never sees
that bad sector again (assuming the spare area is not spent).

On the other hand, a read would fail.


Thanks for the info Carlos E.R. My disk passes all tests now after
using Seagate SeaTools Bootable USB.
