my laptop's hard disk has bad sector. i know that because when i check my drive's health from  third party tools like EaseUS and AutoHd they show bad sector  are present on my disk. and i have also verified this by running in bios diagnostics which show the same results. the problem is that when i run check disk utility on that drive windows reports back no error found. what can i do in this situation.few points to keep in mind:

- bad sector are at very starting sector  no 4,5 .

- my System is still booting up but hang up for apparently no reason for some time even at idle.

-Bois Test also showed that cpu temperature was 103 C hence it was thermal throttling.

Bad sectors simply indicate a bad sector. Your drive could last for many more years, or it could be on its way to kicking the bucket.

 

Best thing to do is start saving money for either a new laptop HDD or a SSD if you can.

 

Backup all your important data to an external drive for now.
