KembaraXtra-Computer Terms – bad sector:
A bad sector is a damaged or unusable sector on a disk storage device where data cannot be stored reliably. The damage may be caused by physical imperfections in the disk surface, manufacturing defects, or wear over time. Operating systems and disk utilities often include tools that scan disks to detect bad sectors. When such sectors are identified, they are marked so the system avoids storing data in those locations, helping protect data from corruption or loss.
