HDD Bad Sector, switch to new SSD... And i stuck to this...

Hey ukpc5,

Unfortunately it does sounds like there is a bad sector on your HDD.

Do you still have all of your data on your
old HDD? If so, I would suggest reformatting your new HDD, and hopefully that will fix that bad sector. Then try using the new HDD again.

If that does not work, that means your HDD is bad, and you will want to
get your Xbox product repaired.

Let us know if you have any questions!

That is a problem of HDD. I would suggest to get an extern hdd. That's mean the internal HDD only will work with the SO. The HDD could have bad sectores.

I'm not to sure so don't quote me on it, but if you have a bad sector/s on your hard disk I would say it's highly unlikely you would be able to install the game in the first place

as it would fail to wright to the bad sector unless the sector has been marked before hand, there for it would of been written to the next good sector, so would have no ill effect.

it could be the data once written has at some point has become corrupted at some point but again unlikely as GG has download the game more than once.

how ever if the HDD is starting to fail and it does have bad sectors which are not marked as bad sectors and data does manage to get written to them this could case a whole host of odd issue, from Very slow performance (due to trying to fetch corrupt data
from bad sectors), missing data etc.

software that repairs a bad HDD simply scans every sector of the hard disk and any Bad sectors are marked as bad so the hard drive will not write to that sector anymore.

I would say this is ok if you only have a few bad sectors but my advise would replace the drive ASAP

I still thinking a hard reset may solve GG's issue although if it does not then I would try a replacement hard drive.

if you had another drive you could connect to your xbox you could transfer the games from your suspected hdd then the drive you suspect may be faulty connect to windows PC and use the Error checking option to repair/mark any bad sectors, if there are any
windows error checking will tell you after scan disk.

bad sector on my hdd, i dont think so because I downloaded doritos 2 and everything was ok...

Your HDD most likely has physically damaged areas on the platters which the re-format marks as bad but more sectors progressively become corrupt because it's physical damage. The only thing you can do is buy a new HDD.
