I am not sure I follow. to me that just proves that the HDD doesn't
have an irrecoverable error on a particular sector. by irrecoverable I
mean an error that would stop the HDD working altogether until power
cycle rather than report a sector read/write error.

the question what screws up the HDD remains. the HDD can get screwed
up by itself due to a bug in firmware, but why doesn't it happen with
windoze or GNU/Linux? pure luck?
