[lug] Bad Sectors

[Gordon Golding]

 I have a disk drive (used for data)? that started giving "messages".

It happened right after the system drive filled up and crashed.

SMART test says:

Powered on 978 days
Current Pending Sector Count?? 10 sectors?? FAILING? Old-age
Uncorrectable Sector Count??????? 7 sectors?? N/A???????? Old-age

Questions:
1)? Could the fact the the system drive crashed in the middle of a BIG tar on this drive have something to do with it?
Should I try anything before believing this?

2)? This is a WD 320 - I thought these drives had big bad sector tables.
Is it time to just junk this unit?
