I have a 3TB hard drive for which I recently received a SMART alert saying there's about 16 bad sectors on it :
C5 Current Pending Sector Count 0x10
C6 Uncorrectable Sector Count 0x10
I ran CHKDSK d: /B which took nearly 8 hours, it fixed these bad sectors and no others were discovered.
Howev...
I saw that chkdsk /r the one that goes through every freaking sector of the disk and (if i say it correct) can actually unmark sectors that the OS classed previous as Bad (not the hardware the OS)
I have always concidered to use this Chkdsk /R only when there may have been other problems causing the OS to falsely mark bad. and to Never use it when all the operation was normal
Assuming normal operations, with NO power fluxuation, and NO disk crashes and NO hard restarts , things that can cause something to be marked bad that isnt , i would want any locations classed as bad to STAY classed as bad.
But Smart does not read the OSes opinion of a drive? Smart is to read the hardwares own opinion? So how the heck would chkdsk be revoking the "bad" status at the hardware?
What I learned about how that happens must be wrong, read off some website that said it wrong
Oh duhh, the question says nothing about the (more permement) Reallocated sectors
Blah something is causing a BSOD every time I go to sleep mode
SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED_M (1000007e)
This is a very common bugcheck. Usually the exception address pinpoints
the driver/function that caused the problem. Always note this address
as well as the link date of the driver/image that contains this address.
Some common problems are exception code 0x80000003. This means a hard
coded breakpoint or assertion was hit, but this system was booted
/NODEBUG. This is not supposed to happen as developers should never have
hardcoded breakpoints in retail code, but ...
another reason why it takes me about 2 weeks to slowly install my computers, tracing all the installs, and useing it half finished , making backups before putting on the next pigpile driver package. walking on eggshells.
When they say Re-Install to fix something, my brain just shuts off.
Here at SuperUser , they dont say re-install fixes everything :-) C@@L
My ISP is owned by a company that resides in our neighboring country.
I have noticed that when I do a traceroute to a server that I know is placed in the same country as I live, I can see some hops go through some servers with IP addresses registered in my neighboring country (according to RIPE ...
I remember when traffic from california to new york , would go through canada, or even way more indirect routes going up to canada then back down for a few hops in the states. They would say that canada was doing the networking cheaper. This question suggests that we may not even know where it had gone.
It could have been servers registered in canada , and displaying canada in the data i was seeing, but may have still been in the states.

Man, comparing Logitech mice is such a joke. One has a "G-Shift-Button" but the other has "Fusion Technology" and the next has "Delta Zero Sensor". WTF?
I prefer most that there be a perfect curve for acceleration on the input device. From turtle to blasting holes in the wall. Plus a bit of added time to get used to the change.
Last week we ordered a couple packs of batteries off Amazon Marketplace and I just checked their order confirmation. It's a shop that seems to specialize in selling N2O capsules O__o
...and batteries
...and BB gun ammo
Oh, it's CO2
They also have N2Os though
I like how they sell packs which is "erotica themed"
Like, wat?
I'm gonna guess that the people who buy those aren't into baking a lot of pie
never going back to mices (huge trackball) In the middle of a zombie horde, have to do a 180* turn, and the mouse reached the end of the pad ARRGGGGG . for years i picked up a mouse to reposition it, never again.
@OliverSalzburg My guess is people are not using the laughing gas to make wipped cream anymore
@Bob ...but it does mean that there's no need for Flash to play Netflix anymore
HTML5 is the way of the future, and for it to be a complete solution, it needs to provide some secure video streaming mechanism, whether you like it or not.
At the end of the day, the "secure video streaming mechanism" doesn't really stop people from recording said video - oh, by the way, pirated sources also don't include said DRM anyway, and all it takes is one person with enough knowledge to take apart a monitor and insert something between the HDCP decoder and panel.
I understand the need for some minimal level of protection, but I'd rather not lose control over equipment I own just to play back a movie for which I have a valid license to access.
@DragonLord There will always be a way for pirates to obtain and provide unprotected content. Even more, as legitimate sources become more locked down the illegitimate sources become more attractive regardless of price.
Here's my position on piracy and copy protection, from the standpoint of an end user:
You can't eliminate piracy. Pirates will eventually defeat any anti-piracy feature included in any game. As such, the only situation where DRM will be effective is against casual users trying to make copies ...
So what I want to do is to solder the copper wire as shown in my scheme using zinc-lead-tin alloy, provided that I will remove the VRAM (connected to the RAM) so I could replace it with the wire. I want to do this because I want to use the 4GB DDR3 RAM as VRAM for my DDR3 NVidia GeForce 250.
N...
XT era though. With places already marked on the card.
But these days things are quite different.
@JourneymanGeek To bad he did not ask if he could just solder the RAM onto the board. That would have been a trivial answer: "Solder on: Yup, no problem"
