After a chkdsk it reported in the Event Viewer - Winlogon, 12 KB in bad sectors
Personally when I've seen a report of showing bad sectors like this I change the hard drive.
But now I'm wondering can a part go out, and possibly that is all there will ever be, and the drive will live on ok, or once you get bad sectors more are going to follow sooner or later?
I've been thinking in the meantime to use SpinRite to maybe help the life of the drive.
