Is my hard disk bad?

[sew999]

So if i stop chkdsk during test by pressing power button can i damage hdd or ram or nothing? I mean bad sectors will appear when i press power button?

Damage to the HDD is the only directly logical problem to expect.

Furthermore, it may damage the HDD, it may not. There are no guarantees.

SO ram not?

SO ram not?

I wouldn't expect it to cause a problem with the RAM.

Uf test finished succesfully

The results are posted in the event viewer, under 'Windows logs' and 'Application', in an entry with the 'source' as 'wininit'.

With as cheap as new hd's are these days there really isn't an excuse to not replace a questionable drive, especially if you treasure the information contained on it.
