Bad sectors appearing very suddenly

by j j k . Updated 13 years, 6 months ago

Why would a Hd suddenly start to develop bad sectors? Eight have appeared in the last few weeks.
The drive is running quietly, with no apparent mechanical failure imminent. Therefore I suspect a logical HD problem, but what’s causing it? Can it be a software conflict interfering with the write process?
