Hi with all.

I have a laptop, which has appeared in the last two weeks the classic Windows blue screen.

At first I thought it was a virus then was dropped, then told me it was the memory, but after a test I discarded. And I finally decided to test with my hard drive.
I tried HD Regeneration program, but I was not successful at the start of the test program stopped.
Before it tried Do a low level format the HDD Low Level Format program, showing errors from 700 000 to 976 773 167 sector that has my hard drive.

Navigating've found that with the Victoria 4.46b one program may be able to eliminate those secotres damaged / defective, but do not fully understand what the test shows me Smart. I have started to erase the bad sectors.
Is it right what I'm doing? Or should apply Remap option?

Deputy catches Victoria 4.46b program:

Honestly, SMART is a bullshit.
Get rid of your drive, this is a best decision.
I wouldn't recommend you to use it even for a garbage storage.
If you files are not important that you're going to store it on a faulty drive do you need it at all?
