I’ve a hard disk having a problem of auto restart the computer. I’ve seen there are 40kb of bad sectors in the hard disk. Is it a bad option to continue using the hard disk without killing the bad sectors?

P/S : There’s another partition in the hard disk.

Special Offer Available: www.amazon.com — Compact and Powerful: The DSR-DR1000A is a hard-disk professional editing player and recorder DVCAM and DV video formats. The unit, instead of tape, records on a large-capacity hard drive that can hold up to 12 hours of video and audio Hard Disk Features: One advantage of hard disk storage over tape is that the unit can simultaneously record and playback video and audio. Useful in situations like sports or other spontaneous programming, it allows the operator to continue recording while playing back previously recorded material Interval Recording: Time-lapse recordings are possible with the DSR-DR1000A. The deck can be programmed to toggle between record mode and standby mode for predetermined intervals. Record times can run from 1/2 second to 2 seconds Loop Recording Feature: A portion of the recording disk is used for continuous loop recording. Video is continually captured overwriting previous material. This allows for capture of rare occurrences like in astronomical or weather observations without continuous recording

Hard disk read/write operations

After performing a data recovery on a non-spinning drive (I convinced it to spin again with some tweaking), I decided to run a few seek operations and get some footage of it. The heads on this drive, likely a 7200RPM disk, from Toshiba can seek from point to point in less than 12ms. For those of you unfamiliar with hard disk mechanics, it is this seeking behavior that causes the “clicking” noises you hear when your drive is accessing data that is not sequentially organized. The disk heads themselves float off the surface of the disk at a distance of less than 100 microns (not visible in this footage). The smallish projection at the end of the element is used to raise the read-write heads off the surface of the disk when they retract and the drive shuts off (to protect your data in the case of a fall).
