322653	2005-02-08 02:44:00	Windows XP SP2 Lately I've been getting bluescreens for no apparent reason. So I checked the Event Viewer and it logged this error: Event ID: 7 The device, \Device\Harddisk0\D, has a bad block. (does "D," refer to my D: partition?) I did a chkdsk and it found no problems, I defragged, all that stuff. Before I installed XP, I did a full format on all the partitions, not quick ones. Someone recommended me to use a program called wdclear.exe to wipe the hard drive and fill it with zeros. And if that doesn't work, I should replace the hard drive. What are your guys' suggestions? Can I fix this problem without having to reformat/replacing the hard drive? Thanks a bunch.	harris_t (7189)
