Bad sectors again? What gives?
This cannot be a coincidence! I just got a new MAtrox Harddrive and
installed the Pro Magic 6.0 that came with my Aopen 533N motherboard. Just before installing, it did a scan disk and a defrag - not errors or bad sectors. Now, after it installed and had a hard time booting several times after the PRo Magic was installed, it now detects over 9 GIGs of Bad sectors - this is right after I had 25 GIG of bad sectors on the last hard drive before I returned it - all after installing Pro Magic 6.0! Worse than this, I only detected about 1 Gig of bad sectors, went to reboot and found 9 GIGs! Nothing before installing this software...what the hell gives? What can I do about this? Does this sound like a virus on the OEM cd? When I first had the problem, even after formatting, there were still bad sectors. Anyone have a fix or a workaround for this? Should I get a new drive (again!) ?? |
