I have a Seagate Barracuda 7200.9 family harddisk of 160gb capacity which is more than 3 years old. recently I installed gsmartcontrol and after running it, it showed number of current pending sector count and offline uncorrectable sectors as -- 4294967295.Fearing the disk going bad, i backed up data and started monitoring it. This is the latest gsmartcontrol shows - http://img820.imageshack.us/img820/5707/201010161300051280x1024.png After two weeks, the no. of bad sectors is the same and the disk shows no sign of failure (at the least there is no problem to read or write files from or to the disk).hence I am confused .is the disk going bad ? if it is fine why can't it remap all those bad sectors ?
