I have 3 HDD's in my computer:
Drive B: a 3TB external drive for backing up to
Drive C: a 320 Gig internal drive for application and system files
Drive E: a 2 TB internal drive for all my data files
I'm using TruImage for my backup routine. I do a backup of drive C: once a month, or whenever I install a new program, and I backup drive E: at shutdown. Both backups are automatic and are differential backups.
Just recently the backup for drive E: failed, there was a bad sector message (see image).
I've run chkdsk and there are no bad sectors. I've tried defragging the disk and have no problems doing this. I thought defrag might pickup and flag bad sectors.
I've deleted the E: drive backup files from my backup drive and copied my User Directory to the backup drive, it took a looooooong time as there was just over 1TB of files to copy (most of it photos). I thought the copy operation would fail just like the backup did, but no, it copied every file without a hitch.
I now plan to format drive B: and copy the files back onto it, but before I "push the button" are there any other things I can try to see if there really are bad sectors on the drive?
