Some advice here would be appreciated!
I have been running a Sony Storstation FSV-M1 for about 6 months now on Win2000 server when the status monitor kept reporting bad sector errors. I ran a chkdsk which reported 4 bad clusters (16kb in bad sectors) and now disk manager reports that the drive is now healthy but at risk - I get no more errors from the status monitor on the webadmin site for it. Called Sony and there telling me that they have to replace the whole server as part of the warranty agreement which I don't fancy doing as it's all running ok. Is it safe to keep the server running or will only more bad sectors occur? Also, would this been caused by the RAID being taken off? (I didn't set the NAS up but i'm guessing this got taken off to free up space).
Forgot to mention the sectors are on the data partition, the system part reports 'Healthy'.
Thanks,
Hammertime
