Hi, can you recommend a program to try to fix this
5 or 6 years old but very little use (less than 1000 hours), a BIOS warning pops up saying that everything is going to crap at any moment. In error-proof mode no, but in normal mode crashes and blue screens are common and in both modes it's slower than it should be.
Passing the HD Tune speed test doesn't finish the test and it has dips to 1.2,3,4 or 5 MB/sec it seems like it's really screwed up, it's a laptop's hard drive so I don't rule out a trip while it's running.
bye

HDD Regenerator is a friend. I have a couple of drives in service that were for the drag and all thanks to that program.

How fast, thank you. I'll try it, I haven't checked if it has a warranty, but I assume it doesn't because WD usually gives 3 years.
-
First of all, check the warranty. Because regenerating that can take a few days of repair without being able to touch that computer. So if you don't have a warranty, be patient.
Best regards

Indeed, you will have to dedicate a PC exclusively to that task for a few days. In fact, it is recommended to go through several passes until there are no more "delay" sectors (accessible without problems but with access time higher than expected).

Too late, calculating with the first few minutes... about 7 days.
@cobito. If it finally works, it's not a problem, it's not in a hurry.
Edit
Well, in 8 days I'll tell you how it goes ;D. -
If it's any consolation, hard drives in laptops don't last very long, so I would replace it, otherwise you run the risk of losing your data.

Come on, we have to be positive, the disk is almost new, it will have twice the hours of use when the program ends that it didn't have before xD.

14247 delaysI haven't said it before, but I hope you are running the program in "ms-dos mode" with a bootable CD or USB. If you run it from Windows, the wait will be much longer. I say this because when it starts with the bad sectors, the delays will seem like lightning to you.

Don't joke that this can go slower.
It's good to know. Yes, I'm transferring it from a cd. -

18h in 5 years? I can do that in a day with a laptop :troll:

18 hours in 5 years…. I'm dying :ugly:. if it was used so little, a cybercafe would be a better option.

No, it's just that my mechanical disks in laptops last very little because I give them a lot of shaking (literally full throttle), in a day (or literally a few weeks) I can already have relocated sectors and for sure if I ran the program on a disk with 2 years of use from some laptop I would take more than 18h. Thank goodness that the one I have now uses SSD, because I don't trust disks... as soon as they start having problems they tend to get worse and degrade a lot in performance and if the old 2.5" disks weren't already great, apart from being a danger, they are a despair. Many laptops lose a lot of performance because of the disks.
PD. Also it's a good excuse to get a cheap SSD

Patience. Above all, arm yourself with patience that it's going to be a long time.Best regards

You are right, an SSD would be the best option, because the hard drives in laptops are extremely slow, and a SSD also lasts longer on battery. This is more out of curiosity to see how it turns out than anything else.97 hours 16 minutes

Up to here we have arrived.

That disk is falling apart. Normally there are certain problem regions, but having practically the whole disk affected indicates some problem with the heads, the mechanics or the electronics that HDD Regenerator won't fix. Or that, or you've used it a lot on the move (in a car, bus, etc.).
Run it several times until all the delays disappear. If you've treated the disk well, with that amount of errors don't use it for important things.

Come on, the disk "disappearing" and not finishing the process indicates that it's something serious. I don't know the history of the disk since the laptop is not mine, but it's possible that it went on a trip while in operation, which charged part of the disk and left the heads as foxes (that's my theory), so a new disk and off we go.
Look at the summary, at the second bad sector it found and the disk disappeared, it's clear that instead of ones and zeros it found the Mariana Trench version PC. xD -
On the bright side, it only has two sectors that are incorrect… which is rare with nearly 60,000 delays, it seems to be a mechanical problem. Out of pure curiosity, do you know if that disk has anti-fall protection?
