How to Block Bad Sectors on Hard Drive in Windows 10/8/7?
Geeks - To block bad sectors on a hard drive in Windows 10, 8, or 7, you can use the Check Disk (chkdsk) tool. Here's how to do it:
Open the Start menu and type "cmd" into the search bar.
Right-click on the "Command Prompt" result and select "Run as administrator" from the context menu.
In the Command Prompt window, type the following command and press Enter: chkdsk /f C:
This will scan the C: drive for bad sectors and attempt to fix them. If you want to scan a different drive, replace "C:" with the appropriate drive letter.
Note: Running this command will cause the Check Disk tool to scan the drive, which can take a long time to complete, depending on the size of the drive and the number of bad sectors it has. You should not interrupt the process, as it may cause further damage to the drive.
