Because of its nature, it may not be able to re-allocate the bad sectors, but it may be able to reveal data communication errors and/or if the disk (especially for flash devices) can't keep stored information correctly. In contrast, the "Read + WRITE + read test" tries to read the sectors first and if they could be read, it performs the rest of testing (overwrite, write original data back, read back and compare with original contents). The "Reinitialise disk surface test" performs overwrite of the drive surface with special combinations, which is the effective method to force the re-allocation of bad sectors.

This and error 23 (CRC error) are the most common results when the software tries to process a sector which does not work as expected (cannot be read/written, depending on the test type started).

In general, the error code 1117 just indicates that it is not possible to process the displayed sector. The health% may also increase and creating a new partition on the drive should also show 0 kbytes bad. This may happen if previously a special event (power loss / reset / etc.) caused the weak sector and the problem may not be really related the hard disk.Īfter this, performing the Disk -> Surface test -> Read test should show no errors, confirming that the hard disk status is now stable. This really forces the drive to re-test the weak sectors andĪ) re-allocate them if required (to really prevent their future use)ī) stabilize their status by checking if the sectors can be usable now. In this situation (after complete backup) the drive may be placed a secondary drive and Disk -> Surface test -> Reinitialise disk surface test is the best method to repair such problems (the Surface Test -> Read + WRITE + read test is designed for other purposes, not really for this). the Disk -> Surface test -> Read test shows the proper location on the disk surface, indicating that the problematic area is still accessible (not re-allocated) Instead, chkdsk marks the cluster of the logical drive (the partition) as bad, forcing the operating system to ignore that area.īut this does not fix the problem, for example if you will ever need to re-partition / re-format the hard disk, the problematic area will be used again - risking data loss. The problem is that chkdsk does not do what you expect: it does not force the hard disk to re-allocate the bad sector, to prevent its later use. In particular I'm presuming these are related to reading the one bad block marked so far and the HDD will just mark this one not to use and that the disk will then be stable again.but I could not find much on this error and any advice on the HDS forum, any ideas, links or comments on this one would be great. I've only got one bad block so far on the "Disk surface map" but at that time I got a bunch of the following: -> Error: 1117 The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error., Sector: XXXXX As per the FAQ I then moved onto the SW test on this disk and selected the Surface Test -> Read + WRITE + read test. Getting more proactive I then used HDS to run the HW Quick Test (previously ran fine) and then the Extended Test but they now both fail quickly (Test Failed by Read Element).
Please run the CHKDSK /R command on 'C:' and then rerun the backup operation." I ran CHKDSK /R on the headless server and post that the backup worked fine. 1024 bytes have not been backed up because they could not be read. This may be an indication of problems with your hardware.
Recently the backup for this drive failed do to the inability to read a sector with the following eventviewer msg: "The backup operation has completed with warning(s) - Volume 'C:' has developed new bad clusters. I've got (another) HDD with issues but this one has been stable with no decrease in heath since I installed HDS (reporting 20 bad sectors and some weak sectors).
