How to solve this error: Device\Harddisk0\DR0, has a bad block.

I too have been facing this issue of late. In fact, I did run CHKDSK C: /F /R and system prompted that it would run the same when system restarts, which it did and took over an hour to complete (didn't display anything on screen besides percentage completed.
Yet, after restart it showed no bad sectors on C: drive. In fact Event Viewer didn't have any entry of the CHKDSK command executed. As Windows 8.1 on my laptop had become extremely slow of late, besides hanging of and on (esp IE11), I had to reinstall the
OS from the Recovery Partition which installed Windows as provided when it was New. Now, just a week after all this, I am again getting the same error -

The device, \Device\Harddisk0\DR0, has a bad block.

Does the hard disk need to be replaced if such bad sector errors recur on Windows reinstallation ?

I am not a PC expert, and can only reinstall Windows afresh from Recovery Partition. I can't open the laptop (it's also under warranty).

Will be grateful if someone can advise what I should do to resolve the above issue. Thanks

Windows 10 "the device /device/harddisk0/dr0 has a bad block" but WORKS in safe mode desktop

Suddenly my Windows 10 pro became unresponsive and I noticed System error the device /device/harddisk0/dr0 has a bad block in Event Log Viewer. As a precautions, I decided to backup my entire 500 GB drive (divided in several partitions) in case of physical bad block/sector. But when I tried to copy from Windows Explorer to external storage. It was too slow to continue and in Event Log Viewer, it was keep adding same error every 8/10 seconds even though chkdsk /R /F for a given partition/volume show no error, no bad sector, no further action required.

Then I boot my Win 10 in safe mode and to my surprise I was able to copy entire hard drive (skipping system/OS drive) to external storage without causing any single error in Event Log Viewer. Also copy operation was at normal speed as oppose to normal desktop boot as mentioned earlier.

Why I am able to access hard disk normally from safe mode desktop and not from normal boot desktop?

After taking backup I boot into command prompt with USB Win 10 installation media and I tried to run chkdsk /R /F on each volume. It succeed for each volume except system/OS volume. On OS volume it finished with an error an unspecified error occurred (766f6c756d652e63 470)

How can I fix this so that it works normally on normal boot?
