Doing a clone backup of the drive and then restoring it would force the pending sectors to be written and allow then to be remapped. With no way of knowing which sectors are involved there isn't much that software can do with them. Such software is designed for professional use and priced accordingly. It could probably be determined with drive specific software designed for the use of data recovery professionals. The drive provides no means of identifying which sectors are involved, just their number. Note that all of this occurs entirely within the drive with the OS having no involvement or knowledge of the operation. But if the sector contains a system or application executable file it may be long time before it is updated, or it may not happen at all. If the sector contains frequently modified data the wait may not be long. Unfortunately there is no way of knowing when or if this will occur. If the sector is later written to it can be remapped with no data loss. The read operation may succeed at the next attempt or it may fail after 1000 tries. Unfortunately you have no way of knowing when this will occur or even if it is possible. If the sector is later successfully read it can be remapped with no data loss. The "Current Pending Sector Count" is a count of such sectors. Instead the drive makes a note of the bad sector and waits for one of 2 events to occur. Remapping the sector would not be a good idea because this would prevent recovery of it's data if a later read operation were to succeed. But things aren't so simple when an error occurs when a sector is read. The "Reallocated Sectors Count" is a count of these sectors. When an error occurs when a sector is written the drive replaces the bad sector with a spare and then rewrites the data and there is no data loss. I could be done but you probably wouldn't want to. ID Cur Wor Thr RawValues(6) Attribute Name I tried WDC Data Lifeguard or even windows chkdsk /r but no luck. My Laptop Hard Drive Crystal Disk Info - Caution then I found out that there is a Current Pending Sector Count is this drive ok? Can I force remap it? on Windows or Linux?
