Hi IONx64, welcome to the forum.



Once a drive is going bad, I would suggest you start to think about replacing that drive.
Here are some tools you can use to scan for bad sectors and attempt to repair them.

• Spinrite
  

• HDD Regenerator
  

• SeaTools
  

• HGST
  

• Western Digital 
  

• Crystaldiskinfo
  

• HD Tune
  

• HDD Scan
  

• Disk Checkup
  

• HD & SSD Health
  

• Samsung
  

• GSmartControl
  

• Bart's Stuff Test v5.1.4
  

• Fujitsu Diagnostic Tool 
  

• DTI Data
  

There are just some of the common tools available for testing and diagnosing computer hard drives, remember backup before attempting any troubleshooting on hard drive in case the fail during the process of scanning.

Thanks for your suggestions and supports. I will keep that links on my bookmarks.

You're welcome. I will add more when I get time.
