I get that status bad thing at boot and when i do a scan i get one error.
I have heard of a few problems with this exact drive a few months into use it dies, either that or it dies on first use. Exactly what i think is happening to mine!
Anyway it has been fine for a while and even with the error i still use it, i got a blue screen when i was writing a dvd that i was making into an iso. Could this be related to the bad sector?
I am trying to avoid a £50 purchase on a new drive, i could try an RMA tho. Samsung ive heard are rubbish at RMA. I got the drive as a replacement to replace another broken samsung that was broken at delivery. Free from, the seller.
Got any programs i can use to check it or try to repair it with before i try a RMA.
