It says the disk has a few bad sectors, when I scroll down it shows id 5, attribute REallocated sector count; count of remapped sectors, when the hard drive finds read/ write/ verification errors etc then the assessment is showing warning and the value is normalised 100, worst is 100, threshold is 36, value is 1 sector
