Hello
I tried to copy some files from My WD Green Hard drive and it was stuck on 0% and the performance of the hard drive (task manger) was 100%.
it led me to the conclusion that I need to run chckdsk. so I did and it found nothing.
It didn't make sense so I download a diagnostic tool from Western Digital website
fast check: failed
slow-27 hours check- failed also.
it said "there is too much bad sectors".
if windows 8 chckdsk can't repair cause it doesn't seem to see that something wrong - I need recomadation for an excellent find and repair tool.
P.S
I backed up my data already
 
chkdsk is just file system based.

Hard drive diagnostic tools are usually more thorough looking at lower-layer hardware aspects of the device. Since it's failing there it looks like the drive is on its way out.
