Okay so at this point I think I will reformat the hdd since I don't need windows on both the ssd and hdd. After that I will keep Planet Coaster on the ssd and put my other games on the hdd. Though I thought originally I had everything on my ssd as the computer defaults to that location. I will then run passmark to see what it says. Do you think that the game and my hdd just doesn't get along or something? I'm about at the point of just buying a new one and replacing it myself. I would rather have a seagate anyway. I don't trust WD anymore. This is the latest replay from them after telling them what you told me Bergenia...
Hello,
We suspect that bad sectors were not a problem judging by the screenshots and error-scan behavior. It looked like a connection or recognition problem. If you will ever find another problem with it, starting from this moment, including any bad sectors at all if any, during any scans or maintenance utility runs - please let us know and we will replace your HDD right away.
You are correct about system skipping bad sectors when it finds them during scans. But it will not do that on it's own, you have to manually run that scan and it will tell you if there are problems or if it fixed any bad sectors, that's how you will know that there are new bad sectors and it means that damage is progressing. Let us know if you will experience any of these issues in the future.
