I am no expert on the subject of clusters and sectors, PMS Witch would be the person to ask.

I had a hard drive with bad sectors slowly die on me about 9 years ago.

My next experience with bad sectors was when I had the Y2010 bug with True Image 10.0. It would not let me restore images I created in 2010, gave me this error:

E0007001
number of SECTORS differs from counted

I searched on the Acronis chat site and found one tech support guy say it's from bad sectors on the hard drive. That got me worried, I thought the drive was failing. So I called Microsoft and asked them if I run chkdsk /r and it fixes bad sectors will it report that the sectors were marked, he said no, you need the manufactures diagnostic software to tell you that.

So I got the required software and ran it, the drive was fine, no bad sectors or any problems with the drive. That was a big sigh of relief that it was not my hard drive dying. But a bug with True Image 10.0 cause this happened on 2 machines in the first week of Jan 2010, one week apart.

After creating new partitions and formatting after the failed restore, I restored images created on Dec 31 2009, all was fine. I bought True Image 2010. And the rest was history. Sorry for going off topic. That Y2010 bug still bothers me.
