Computer freezing
Hello all,
For a while I've been doing incremental backups , I would say about 7 and then all of a sudden my backups would stop because of an error message that it wasn't able read a sector in drive 1 ( which I don't know what they mean by drive 1? )
So I changed my settings to ignore bad sectors and when I run Acronis for an incremental backup I believe it does the backup but it seems when after the session I find my computer has frozen and now I have to power down and restart the computer.
Would anyone know what is going on here....???

Run chkdsk /r on each partition of the internal drive, and on the backup HD. If there are hidden partitions, assign letters to them so you can chkdsk.
Also run a drive checking utility from the drive manufacturer, as those sometimes catch errors missed by chkdsk.
Where is the backup location, and how is it connected?
Don't connect via a hub, a port in a monitor, a USB extension cord, etc. Connect the external drive directly to a USB port on the rear of the computer case.

I was looking in the control panel in windows in Administrator tools -computer management-disk management and I see that disk 1 is my new Seagate Backup drive which is connection to a USB 3.0 pci card connected to my motherboard. I had to add a USB 3.0 card to get 3.0 usage for the backup drive.
Is it possible this is the Disk 1 they speak of not being able to write in a certain sector....?
I'll tried to run chkdsk /r on this drive It might take awhile because it's a 3TB drive and then I'll have to run a backup and see what happens.

Yes. And yes, chkdsk will take a while, but is worth doing when drive errors are possible.
