Dying Hard Disk
My Notebook hard disk is going to die. It's start with slow respond by the Firefox and other applications (In Windows XP or Linux Centos) . Reviewing /var/log/messages show me this
Dec 8 12:17:50 linuxmalaysia smartd[2587]: Device: /dev/hda, 1 Currently unreadable (pending) sectors
Dec 8 12:17:50 linuxmalaysia smartd[2587]: Device: /dev/hda, 3 Offline uncorrectable sectors
This messages come from smartd a daemon for smartmontools that monitor hardisk using S.M.A.R.T . My notebook is dual boot. XP and Centos. XP don't tell be anything and I need to run the Scanning Disk and reboot the PC and wait.
Right now Im checking the hard disk using Centos with command
badblocks /dev/hda
and wait for the result.
Killing my time by reading more about badblocks handling in Linux.

My problem is the badblocks are residing in HPFS/NTFS file system. Geramnya !!!!!
smartmontools can be install in Windows. I boot into Windows and download from
http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/
After install edit the smartd.conf and change my DEVICESCAN with
DEVICESCAN -a -o on -S on -m sysmsgbox
The install will create Shotcut Menu and you need to install smartd as service using the shotcut menu.
Attribute that I want to monitor is number 197 and 198. Example below

My next step is to run chkdsk from cmd shell.
chkdsk c: /F /R
and reboot the Windows XP.
I found UBCD For Windows http://www.ubcd4win.com/
