I have some issues with this hdd since 2014.
The disk since then is showing me these messages, and it's health is on 97%
15/10/2014 2:51:42 ðì,#198 Off-Line Uncorrectable Sector Count 0 -> 2
15/10/2014 2:51:42 ðì,#197 Current Pending Sector Count 0 -> 2
Yesterday, I finally had the chance to move it's files to a new disk and format it. On the check disk options window, I clicked on both boxes and it found and fixed two bad sectors. Right after that, I opened your program and checked the disk and I noticed that the health of my disk dropped to 96% and now I have three weak sectors instead of two. This is the new message added on my log
8/9/2016 9:02:13 ðì,#197 Current Pending Sector Count 2 -> 3
I reinitialize the disk surface through your program and I'll have to wait for 86 hours to be completed.
What is happening exactly and is there anything else that I have to do? Is the disk going to survive or I shouldn't count on it to store important files?

The drive found 2 bad sectors during its self test.
There are 3 weak sectors found on the disk surface. They may be remapped any time in the later use of the disk.
At this point, warranty replacement of the disk is not yet possible, only if the health drops further.
It is recommended to examine the log of the disk regularly. All new problems found will be logged there.
No actions needed.
