| Mar 9, 2014 at 15:23 | comment | added | user34853 | the pending sectors count decreased from 80 to 40 after formatting that partition with Gparted, it didn't increase the rellocated sector count, so I assume those sectors weren't actually bad in the first place? | |

| Mar 9, 2014 at 15:07 | comment | added | Hennes | I respectfully disagree. Two partitions around it would work, but when a drive fails to reallocate failed sectors then the drive is often that far gone that you should not trust it anymore. In which case you copy all data off it and replace it with a new drive. | |
