Toshiba sector compromised?.. assistance?

Hello, this is my first post in the forum.

I bought a Toshiba 2GB laptop not too long ago. I ran a diagnostic disk
check with Ashampoo Win Optimizer and the results of the scan produced this log.

I've already ran a Windows ChkDsk with both boxes checked to scan and repair drive errors. These scan results are from after it was completed.


There's no clicking sounds or performance issues that others have reported with a similar issue. Should I get a USB and backup my files immediately? Or what is the best solution to what I'm up against?



Thank you Much -Scott

Actually it's probably not an issue, an error in the bitmap. The MFT bitmap is a metafle that keeps track of what sectors are used by files and which are not. You probably had a bad sector remapped at eh hardware level and not updated in the bitmap. I would just keep an eye on it unless you are seeing performance issues, or have some other reason to have run the test.
