1192463	2011-04-06 19:29:00	Recently one of my hard drives have been acting up on my server so I managed to connect it to my computer (A couple of times it wouldn't be detected in windows but looked like BIOS could). I noticed when trying to transfer the files over, the speed was about 200kbps at best. (From one Internal Hard drive to another) Does anyone know the reason why and possibly a way to fix this? Thanks	MrGrim48 (16318)
1192464	2011-04-06 19:54:00	Sounds like it may be about to fail? :pf1mobmini:	Chilling_Silence (9)

Good news though, started copying some more data and its going at 4MBps. I quite like this Speedfan program.	MrGrim48 (16318)

1192468	2011-04-07 11:26:00	Two notes on the in depth analysis. "your hard disk has 142 pending sectors (this value is very large and your hard disk should be replaced)" It does say there are spare sectors too and "The best option should be a tool that knows about what should be read from that sector so that it has some option to apply the best fix to the missing data." Although I don't know any tool. "your hard disk has 1 offline uncorrectable sectors" Also in the program under status it says read failure.	MrGrim48 (16318)
1192469	2011-04-07 13:05:00	If you did want to recover data from those sectors you'd probably want to use something like Victoria or MHDD, though I haven't used them to do that. Most likely it won't matter to you, just copy anything you need and replace the drive.	Agent_24 (57)
