| 376115 | 2005-07-27 10:51:00 | One or more drives has developed a bad sector...press any key to start scan disk. when scan disk starts, after reaching 16% or 2% sometime it says Scan Disk encountered a data error while reading fat on drive c. This error prevents scandisk from fixing this drive. What should be done in this case? |

Try doing a scandisk in Safe Mode, and it might have marginally better chances of working. ;) Bad sectors showing up are a bad sign. The FAT tables are critical areas. |

This error prevents scandisk from fixing this drive. What should be done in this case? 1: Enable smart in the bios. 2: Back up all importnat data immediately 3: Buy a new HDD |
