  1. Bad Clusters on the Windows Partition


    Yesterday, on Windows 11 Home, my laptop's screent went black all of a sudden. I already had backup, so, I inserted a Windows USB, and I formatted the partition on which Windows was installed. I reinstalled Windows 11 Pro on it. After successful installation, when I rebooted my PC, it tried for diagnosing PC and ended up in blue screen. From there, I open CMD in Troubleshooting options and type chkdsk c: /f /r /x and it found more than 300 bad clusters, then it successfully boots.The problem is that, this happens each time I reboot my PC. What's the cause? Is there a problem with the hard disk

    :)

    W7 Hard drive partition issue

    to get rid of that 100 meg windows partition that setup creates for you on a new install on a blank hdd:

    - press shift+f10 when on the partition management screen in setup <-- this opens a command prompt
    - diskpart <-- start the windows command line partition management tool
    - list disk <--- list the installed hdds in this computer for the next step
    - select disk 0 <- might have to replace 0 with the number of the correct disk
    - clean <-- this will erase all data on the disk you selected one step up- dont use the wrong disk!
    - create partition primary <- creates a primary partition taking up all space on the drive, adjust the command if necessary
    - exit, exit to exit diskpart and the command prompt
    - click refresh in partition manager and select your newly created partition and install to that

  4. Bad Clusters on the Windows Partition

    Checkdisk gives always the same report: Adding 7 bad clusters to the Bad Clusters File.

    Hi all,

    I hope this finds you all well in these horrible days.

    I just run a few weeks ago a checkdisk /f /r /x /b on a secondary and otherwise healthy drive in my Toshiba laptop. It is a mechanical HDD.

    It gave me the following conclusion:

    Adding 7 bad clusters to the Bad Clusters File.

    Correcting errors in the Volume Bitmap.

    Windows has made corrections to the file system.

    No further action is required.

    Later I repeated the test but it gave the exact same message. After this test, I realized that some of my shortcuts disappeared, but I could find them and put them back to the original folder.

    And then I repeated the test again. It just keep giving me the same error.

    I do not think that each time this HDD develops 7 new bad clusters. I think something is fishy about this.

    What do you thing about this?

    Have a nice day!
