I have a 1.5TB Samsung drive in my DrivePool which Scanner recently found damaged, i.e. 15.0 KB unreadable on the disk (30 sectors). I was able to recover all the data using the tools in file scan, so after removing the drive from DrivePool, I transferred the drive to another computer and ran Windows checkdisk. After checkdisk completed it's work, I was notified that the damaged sectors were marked as bad, re-allocated, and the drive was "fixed". When I placed the disk back in the original system, it still shows up as damaged, even though I when I reran the file scan in scanner it states all is well with the file system now.
I'd like to be able to continue using the drive if it' safe to, but I understand that DrivePool won't utilize a damaged disk. Is this something I should worry about, and if not, how can I remove or change the damaged label? The current S.M.A.R.T status on this drive shows all parameters WNL except for a "Current Pending Sector Count" value of 48 or 38.8%.
