I am having problem with my Toshiba hard disk. When ever I am copying a big file to it, it runs fast until it reached approx 95% and then it takes a long long time before it completes. If I copy two big files at a time, it will do the same at the end of each files. I have tried running error check a few times and attached is the report. If I tick the "scan for and recovery of bad sectors", it will again take a long time. Is the hard disk permanently damaged or just requiring a re-formatting?
