Would this help improve a drives reliability.
I have a drive which previously has reallocated sectors, since Im formatting it anyway is there a point to using this utility or can I just go straight to putting windows on it

Is this all automatic nowadays but it used to be that a util would need to run to check each sector mark anything not now usable.
Its just for a web browser machine, it doesnt have to be perfect but I dont want to hand it back to someone and have windows reset when being used
