  1. lost_soul's half-assed solution of the day: There's a hard drive with over 100 bad sectors, making everything run EXTREMELY SLOW. Instead of swapping out the hard drive, I moved the OS to the later half, away from the bad sectors! Now it runs fast and fine!

      Oi nutter, replace the drive. If its under warranty get it swapped, if not they are so cheap just buy another one.

      How old is this drive? Modern drives should remap bad sectors automatically so the OS doesn't even see them.

      That could be a harbinger of bricked drive to come.

      Also, running a full format on the drive should mark and bad sectors and never write to them so you can use the remainder of the drive but as mentioned above, if its an older drive, it may be going to the grave.
