1) what were you doing when you got that warning? this could mean that the drive head is about to collapse. if this is the case, using the other sectors would be useless.

2) that's how storing data on a hard drive works. it will not use the other sectors until the previous sectors are filled.

you should get a new harddrive and copy all your data over asap.

Can you help with this problem?
