What program will help you find all the bad sectors on the hard drive and block access to them?
Hello.
The hard drive (SATA) in the laptop began to gradually age. Here and there bad sectors appear, when accessed, Windows crashes. Sometimes a crash occurs when playing mp3 files (that is, when reading), although the operating system allows these files to be written to disk.
I noticed that if such files are transferred to a separate folder, then the problems disappear for a while. The main thing is not to delete such a file, otherwise there is a high probability that something else will be written in its place and the problem will repeat itself.
It is clear that you need to change the hard drive, or even the entire laptop. But I would like to extend the life of the "pensioner".
I tried the standard check disk from MicroSoft, but it does not help.
Is there a program that could scan a laptop and identify problem blocks? And then transfer the files to a special rogue folder - i.e. those files that should not be accessed?
Thank you.

checkdisk should be run with the /f and /r options to check for and bypass bad sectors.
if it was launched with these parameters, and the problems persist, then this means that the number of bad sectors is constantly increasing and you will not fix anything, no matter what program you use.
low-level formatting with sector reallocation, viktoria for example, but the disk is a walking corpse
For your case, my program should be suitable. The working method is different from Victoria, HDD Resuscitator and so on. It also blocks slow sectors in any number, which significantly speeds up the disk. It's called Disk Revival. I do not give links, so as not to be suspected of spam. Search on google.
