"There is currently 1 unstable sector on the hard disk. An unstable sector is a sector that can't be read. The drive will automatically swap the bad sector for a good one whenever new data is written to it, however, the original data may be lost."
How can I either force a write to the sector for the drive to make up its mind to mark it bad, or force the drive to mark it bad even if its good so I don't keep getting this warning for this sector?
I assume the scanning process doesn't "fix" this?
Is there an easy way to run a scan on just one disk?
