Re: Having problems with a bad sector on my hard drive that will not let windows XP boot?

If you have a Installation Disc (floppy or CD) from Seagate, then try with this to check the hdd for errors and probably repair them or move the defective sectors.

Surely these progs are also available online from Seagate.
