I had HDD 120GB western and it was having some problems while copying some files it say "sector requested was not found" ,Formating the drive couldn't fix it, i delete the file that have this problem and after some days another new file say this message so i started losing new files but it worked fine and i could you the HDD, then i bought a new Power Supply and after 2 or 3 days the HDD didn't work again, in formating through DOS it didn't say anything it just skip it without any message,FDISK it said can't read fixed disk, I took from a friend a new HDD to boot from it, and I run Western digital diagnostics and it said S.M.A.R.T failed before testing, in the info all was passed except
Raw Read Error Rate
ID:1
Value:1
threshold:51 or 52 don't remember exactly
worst:1
warrant:1
i searched over the internet it said that kind of problem can't be fixed at home, I tried the HDD on my friend PC but it also didn't work the motherboard and the windows detect it but i can't access it from anywhere
now i am working on my friend's HDD and it started to say while copying "sector requested was not found" so probably it may get worst and i don't wanna buy a new HDD before i make sure that the motherboard and the power supply not related to this and it was only coincidences
so how can I know my Power Supply is fine and the motherboard?

thanks
