I think my HDD might be starting to fail on me, but i'm not sure.

Crystal disk info tells me (caution) [current pending sector count: 14]
[uncorrectable sector count: 1]

But i've also done the quick and extended tests of WD's Data lifeguard diagnostic and for both tests it gives me a PASS.

so I'm unsure of what to think here, should I not be worried about this?
 
Download the CD image of Hitachi Drive Fitness Test, burn the ISO file to a CD, and then boot from it, just like you would do with the XP/Vista install CD. Test the hard drive and see if any problems are found. DFT will run on most manufacturers' hard drives.
 
Hm, i already had a copy of it, dunno why I didn't test with that.

ran both short and full tests, both completed successfully giving me code 0x00, which means no errors.

I don't know, if it ends up being an absolute must, I guess ill just have to replace it :/
