Bad sectors symptom, use SMART to check for keywords "sector" or just post the SMART result here if you don't know what they do, some attributes are only for information.
You can use a software call Low Level Format or similar disk wipe tool to perform deep "clean" of the disk, sometimes it may fix the "Pending sector count", means it's temporary issue, if "Reallocated sector count" increases then prepare to scrape your HDD, the surface is already damaged beyond repair.

Thanks rclxms.gif i ran the WD Align to check the HD,it says already aligned. then i ran another software which is WD Data Lifeguard Diagnostic.i choose to do the quick diagnostic,then it shows FAIL. is it indicate that my HD is totally damaged? and if i RMA the HD,is it better,or i can fix it by my own?

another question is,i already formatted the HD, is there any method to retrieve back my files instead send it to manufacturer?
