Hello evrybody, and compliments for this forum, i've got an issue with my internal Hdd of my acer laptop. Is a WDC 320Gb partitioned in three parts 153.59Gb C: 149.79Gb D: and 3.81Gb Z: NTFS. Now the problem is that in the Z partition i think there are file for the e recovery restore management and evrytime a viruscan is reading in the partition the lappy freeze and i have to force the shutdown by holding/pressing the startup button on the laptop.. i tryed using chkdsk/f/r in the partition but at 20% is blocking always, i downloaded westerndigital datalifeguard diagnostic but while running diagnostic same thing happen.. and i'm wondering what to do.. for the moment i solved just avoidin the programmed antivirus scanners, making a personalized one with exclusion of that partition.. i suspect some cluster is gone in that part of the HDD. Now the question is: how to save the recovery partition for future restore of my lappy in case i need it and how to format the 3Gb avoiding windows to use the clusters that are gone. Somewhere i heard about low level format but i don't know how to proceed!
in attachment is a pic of the Z partition, is the recovery one?
