Is it possible that phatnoise music manager can cause bad sectors on hard drive

THe reason that I'm asking is that the other day while music manager was updating its database my computer crashed, and when I booted up my hard drive on two separate partitions had bad sectors in my mp3 folders. You guys think this is possible, or just coincidence. Thanks

it's not the software...but it could be that your hdd had an issue, and it caused the error to be at that location because it was reading or writing to that location when it happened

Yes - when a PC crashes it can break just about anything.  So if it was about to write data somewhere, it could have ended up overwriting somewhere else before it fell over completely.  Such crashes aside, I have never seen any versions of PMM damage any music files, so I think you were probably just unlucky.
