DFT is on the UBCD 4.11, after googleing UBCD 4.11, which is the version I have, I found that the DFT on this version is 4.09.

Be advised that is what I ran to get the results in my first post.

Are suggesting that I download,burn and run the latest UBCD version and DFT ?


I do usually run the latest that I have but have used older versions as well. I've had times when a newer version wouldn't see the drives, especially when connected via USB so I go with what works. If a newer version has bug fixes it only makes sense to use it over a previous version.

If you do download the newest UBCD - 5.2.9, I would boot to PMagic first to see if I could get anything off before doing anything else that could further corrupt data. If nothing important is on the drive, I'd skip that and just re-partition, re-format and re-install/restore OS.

Also - corrupted sectors don't always mean bad sectors but wouldn't hurt running a full scan of surface before re-installing/restoring OS.
