I scanned my hard drive with HD Tune Pro and the results gave me this message: 1 Error at 15409 MB (LBA 31557736). It also listed the following: (C5) Current Pending Sector, Current: 100, Worst: 100, Threshold: 0, Data: 2, Status: Warning. What does all of this information mean?

Re: Question about HD Tune Pro

This means your drive is dying so get your important data off it ASAP ! then if under warranty RMA back to Vendor. If you post back please include the make and model of the drive ! You can also get a 2nd opinion of the "smart" with hddscan

Re: Question about HD Tune Pro

I clicked on 'smart' on hddscan- it is showing a yellow error icon next to '197 current pending errors count.' What does that mean?

Re: Question about HD Tune Pro

Drive is going bad same as my first post this was just a 2nd opinion to make you feel more confident in the results hddtune gave you. This is not something that can be "fixed" Here is the link to the Wiki with more info on each paramter for your reading pleasure S.M.A.R.T. - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

It's okay- at least I know now, instead of when it completely crashes. I've started putting data on a usb drive- I should be able to finish getting all of the important files on there tonight. :)
