What should I do if the "windows has detected hard disk problems" window pops up?

Question

Windows

Download the crystaldiskinfo program. I am attaching a screenshot of it. I didn’t go on scrolling and screening, because. other attributes are normal (blue circle). The computer began to slow down. A little bit of sound is heard from the hard drive (but it was there before). What do you advise? I would not like to reinstall windows and buy a new disk.

Answer 1

Make a backup!

Answer 2

What do you advise?

1) Turn off the computer
2) Buy and connect a new drive
3) Copy the information to a new drive.
4) Throw the old disk into the trash can.

Answer 3

Each hard drive has spare sectors that are reassigned in case of failure of the active ones. You have shown exactly this - the disk controller has replaced 7 sectors.
The main problem is to understand the reason why the sectors failed. If we assume that debris has appeared inside the hard drive (part of the surface has broken off, flies on the disk, scratches other sectors), then very soon there will be much more bad sectors in random places.
If something happened to a certain part of the disk, and the bad sectors were replaced, but no new bad sectors are added, then the hard drive can still be used.
But in any case, at the first sign of problems, it is not recommended to use such a screw as the main one, or store critical information on it without a backup, since it is impossible to determine by software methods for what reason the sectors have failed, and disassembling the hard drive is cheaper buy a new one.
Therefore, I recommend that you still buy another one, and turn this one into a file dump (movies, TV shows, everything that you can download from the Internet on occasion, but it’s a pity to waste space on the main disk).

Answer 4

Change and urgently, especially if something else needs to be saved from this disk.
