Several Windows users have been getting the “disk does not have enough space to replace bad clusters” error when trying to run CHKDSK on a drive.

I’m sorry that I wasn’t able to properly answer the question in the previous reply. You need to be focusing on the RAW value and keep in mind that while 10 is a limit, anything more than 0 means that the drive is probably not going to have a long life from here onwards. It starts to show that the drive is defected, if you can fix it through the indicated method, you might be able to get some more juice out of it but it won’t last you that long and you should start looking for replacements.
you didnt answer his question! the article never says which column to read the > or< 10 amount from. he wants to know which column to read.

In step 5 it mentions checking the Reallocated Sector Count number of 10. Is that a threshold number 10 or a raw number 10 (decimal)?
