Problem With Partitioning

[hell911]

Im trying to partition my 1TB 5400RPM hard disk, but im receiving this error.

these are the results of HD TUNE PRO

this is the result on Crystal Disk Info

Any Help!! THANK YOU!!

Did you do the CHKDSK! and also do a defrag.

Run Chkdsk and see if it finds any errors or corruption. If it does, fix them and try again. If it doesn't, use a different partition tool such as GParted.

Why partition a 1TB 5400rpm HD?

Why the error says: "to shrink"?

Which was run first, the Crystal Disk Info or the HD Tune?

isn't it a good idea? i just want to make a separate partition for drivers of laptop? :\

what do you mean? that error "to shrink" came from disk management.

also, i ran first HD Tune pro, then crystal disk info.

Partitions, in my opinion, have no reason to be used anymore.
If you want to artificially limit the amount of space available to certain subsets of data, use quotas.
File systems are sufficiently stable, that there's no point in having a backup on a separate partition of the same disk.
There's no reason to split a disk with partitions, as it will only limit your options when one of the partitions runs out of space.

There's really only one reason left, where partitions make any sense:
If you run different operating systems on a PC, with incompatible file systems.

Like Denis... Did you do the chkdsk yet?

 

[hell911]

i actually ran the chkdisk like 4 months ago..
before there was 1 damaged block (color red), as you can see in 2nd picture, now there is no damaged block. im guessing it is repaired from chkdisk?

 

[razel]

4 months is a long time ago. Re-run chkdsk. Chkdsk is different from 'check disk'

And are you planning to use it to store videos, pictures and/or large files? If so, I wouldn't partition it as Rick has mentioned.

If it's an old HDD, I suggest buying a new one if you can since 1TB drives are about $50 to $60 now. The amount of time you may spend trying to fix it with chkdsk or any other tools may not be worth the time.
