HDD failure

Hey, I have a question that no one seems to have the answer to. I just recently took my sisters laptop to Office Depot cause she had some virus and what not. The guy working told my sister her hdd is dying and that she has "100 iso-somethings" and that good hdd's have 20 or so (quoted from my sister). He's trying to tell her she needs a new hdd, but I have no idea what this iso-something is. Anyone know of these supposed iso's that are in hdds that cause them to fail?

He may have said inodes. Maybe meaning sectors. If it has 100 bad sectors it is in trouble and it will only get worse from that point.

Thanks Easy, that's probably what he said. So it'd be good for her to get a new one then?

And as for you Talon.... she's 33. And no, I will not post pics of her lol. She's married with 2 kids.

Thanks again Easy

You really think that Talon cares. All Talon cares about is having a beer and seeing something naked. preferably A Burdman.
