The device, \Device\Harddisk1\DR1, has a bad block. Is there anything I can do?

Chkgsk utility will flag bad sectors so they won’t be used, if blue screen appears again that means that some important system file was on that damaged block.

And think of replacing disk, bad blocks usually tends to spread.
