Read the smartctl message again, it's not reporting a bad sector, it's |
| 20 |
reporting a read failure. Bad sectors are detected and mapped out in the |
| 21 |
background, you have something more serious, something that prevents the |
| 22 |
drive scanning past this point. If it's less then two years old, send it |
| 23 |
back. Most drive manufacturers have a form on their web site where you |
| 24 |
can input the serial number and see the warranty status. If you can |
| 25 |
return it so so, ASAP. |
