Greetings,
I have a 500GB hd which smarts daemon says has 1 re-mapped sector, and
129 bad sectors.
How is it possible to have 129 bad sectors, but only 1 re-mapped sector?
Did the HD have only 1 spare sector when I purchased it?
Is that possible?
Drive was purchased brand new in factory sealed box.
I expect the smart data is reporting sectors marked bad in testing and
formatting up before it was sold. All media has some bad sectors that are
never used.
