LBA errors on partition change

[anotherwindowsuser]

Hi,

I shrank the windows 10 partition on my laptop which was using a new as in unused, but 10 year old hdd, it showed these errors, quite a lot, saying "Failed to rad disk, error 2453 LBA6495272

The software I used was called MiniTool Partition Wizard

Is this a dud disk then? windows 10 finds no errors on normal checks but I haven't run the chkdsk program for read/write errors.

I ran the chkdsk /r command it took 1.5 hours and althoguh it reffered to itself as fixing, I dont know if it actually found errors or not as there was no official report?

Run the seatools as provided by seagate, that is the best test.

It's a Toshiba will it still run? I just remembered the smart drive feature, that should list bad sectors.

It runs on a Toshiba.

Do you think it would still run on windows ten is says for compatibility:

• Windows 8
• Windows 7 32- and 64-Bit
• Windows Vista 32- and 64-Bit
• Windows XP

I think so

Failing sectors on a HDD is fairly normal. Chkdsk should be able to identify them, relocate data and mark them as bad.

You are right.
With an increasing number of failing sectors I would replace it right away. Seatools is always a good starting point to getting an idea of overall condition of old harddisks.

The annoying thing is its a unused hdd
