Disk Error on a Dell Notebook with Windows 8.1 “The device, \Device\Harddisk0\DR0, has a bad block.”

1

Recently my computer freezes for minutes and after reboot I see in the Event Viewer many Errors such as "The device, \Device\Harddisk0\DR0, has a bad block."

I have run chkdsk c:/R/B and chkdsk c:/offlinescanandfix

But no problems were detected!

How can I find and mark those bad blocks?

Check the disk health using the official diagnostic tool provided by the manufacturer. – and31415 – 2014-06-03T10:01:08.933
