Acer Rebooting attempt:

Acer trying to flash Linux 21.3 Live Session / Full Installation

So Acer ASPIRE 3 A351-32 SERIES MODEL NO: N17Q2 19.V with a 1TB TOSHIBA MQO4ABF100 (JU001J) disk hard drive, has been giving me issues for over two weeks. Given to me with the Blue Screen of death keeps popping up and shutting down the system. Forcing a hard crash shut down. Some how I Had the machine up and running on a Linux live flash drive twice. The second time I tokk the back cover off and preformed CMOS/BIOS and reset waited and rebooted as long as the machine had the Linux Live session running there was no issues could watch movies and leave my place with music playing for days with no shutdown issues. So went ahead and ran the Linux Mint 21 Xfce full instalation wiping the whole disk. At the the end of the tour of the new system it just stoped instead of requesting removal of the instalation media and reboot message I was used to seeing. Instead i saw something about if the install did not compleate or reboot to try F2 or F12 to access the system. So I removed the installation media flashdrive and the mach8ine went black. Haven't seen the screen after that. Took the TOSHIBIA 1TB hard drive out and could not find the drive showing on any windows or linux machine I tried until tonight. The host machine: Precision WorkStation T3400 Linux Mint 21.3 x86_64, Xfce 4.18, Kernel: 5.15.0-91-generic. With the use of Disk Application; gnome-disk-utility 46.0 UDisks 2.10.1 (built against 2.10.1) I completed a hard line, down load linuxmint-22.1-xfce-64bit.iso into the host downloads folder.

------------------

I'm about to use the Gnome Disk Utility to create an image to make the 1TB a bootable hard drive for the Acer.

Model: TOSHIBA MQO4ABF100 (JU001J)

Serial Number: xxxxxxxxx

Assessment: Disk is OK, 189 bad sectors (22 degrees C / 72 degrees F

This dose not look Good at all! There's no way to repair bad sectors.

The HDD controller should relocate detected weak sectors and mark them as bad so they are no longer used. If you have an abundance of bad sectors, then the disk is at high risk of failure and should be replaced soon.

With 189 bad sectors on a 1TB disk, while not necessarily a catastrophic failure, it's a warning sign and warrants attention. Consider backing up data, running disk checks, and potentially preparing for a replacement if the issue persists or worsens.

Bad sectors are areas on a hard drive (HDD) or solid-state drive (SSD) that are damaged and cannot reliably store or retrieve data.

Bad sectors can lead to data loss, errors, slowdowns, and even crashes.

Don't ignore it: Ignoring bad sectors can lead to further data loss and system instability.

Reformatting the drive doesn't repair bad sectors.

Reformatting the drive doesn't repair bad sectors.

Formatting a hard drive will erase all data and create a new file system, but it won't fix the underlying physical or logical corruption that might be causing the issue, potentially making data recovery more difficult.
