I am trying to make a backup data from my hard disk that has “Bad Block” problem by copying them to another hard disk.
But aside form Event ID: 7 Error: “The device \Device\Harddisk1\D has a bad block” (I know Harddisk1 refers to my hard disk that has “Bad Block”) some other events appears:
1.Event ID: 26 Warning:”The driver has detected that device \Device\Ide\IdePort0 has old or out-of-date firmware” Reduced performance may result” I wonder why this event appears, I used my hard disk before get a bad block and never get this event.
2.Event ID: 51 Warning:”An error was detected on device \Device\Harddisk1\D during a paging operation”
3.Event ID: 9 Error:”The device, \Device\Ide\IdePort0, did not respond within timeout period”
4.Event ID: 11 Error:”The driver detected a controller error on \Device\Ide\IdePort0″ This event only appears 1 time,though.
I wonder what the cause of these events appearing (it is just because my hard disk that has “bad block” or there is another cause aside from it).
And what should I do with the hard disk that reported has a bad block? (Does formatting it resolved this problem or should I get a new hard disk)
If I choose get a new hard disk, will the Bad Blocks appears as soon as possible in my new hard disk if I copying my backup data (the data that was copied from the hard disk that has “Bad Blocks” to the hard disk that was used for backup) to my new hard disk?
If not, how many long that new hard disk will get “Bad Blocks” problem?
The last thing I want to know, what is the real cause of “Bad Blocks”? Because my PC has a hard disk that is almost 6 years old and doesn’t get a “Bad Block” and My brother has an exactly same type of hard disk that mine which has “Bad Blocks”, but he doesn’t get this problem, my hard disk that has a “Bad Blocks” and my brothers is bought on same day.
