BAD SECTORS

Bad sector is a small portion on the hard disk that has suffered some damage and is therefore unusable. We can try fixing the problem by right clicking on the hard drive (c:, d: etc..) in the windows explorer. Click on the properties and click the tools tab. You will see the ‘Check now’ options, click it, and then check the box that says “Scan for and Attempt Recovery of Bad Sectors”. Click on the Start. If there are physical bad sectors, the only way to fix it to give the drive for repairs or replacement.

The bad sectors will not cause you harm day to day operation.
Scandisk will mark the bad sectors so that the operating system skips them and no data written there. As for cause it can be physical damage during the manufacturing process itself or wear or tear or just faults that show up randomly.
