Hello,
Windows 8.1 on a laptop was going extremely slow... I formatted and reinstalled without checking HDTune first. Ran it and saw Reallocted Event Count. I wrote all 0's to the drive and now it has 40 reallocted sectors.
I put a 256gb SSD that I got originally for my desktop into the laptop. Runs great.
Is this HDD dead? Still useful for non-critical data?
