HDD bad sectors and repair

January 23rd, 2011, 13:42

Hello,

I run Surface test with Partition Wizard and I got 8 bad sectors. Prior to that, my laptop dropped down on the floor and Windows 7 crashed, I couldn't run Windows 7 nor Windows 7 installation CD till I formatted partition C from Linux. Partiotion D seems to be OK. Now I installed Windows 7 again on C partition and it runs litlle bit slower when copying files, etc..So is that HDD problem? I guess it is, because everything else is OK.

8 bad sectors is too many, or it can be repaired? How?
