The test file there is a guide with tips for configuring the tests along with fixes seen with different versions of the diagnostic tool. What make and model is the drive there.
Since no results are seen from testing the best way to see if the drive has faults is by using the manufacturer's own drive diagnostic tools like WD"s LifeGuard tools for their drives. Seagate, Maxtor, and other companies each have their own as well.
Whenever you use any diagnostic program you still want it to save a report to a file for later review. Apparently you may have forgotten to check something off like "save report in txt form to ..." when starting it leaving it with no command to follow. Dos type tools can sometimes take an eternity like using an old zero filll tool for seeing a drive wiped. For a small 13gb sized drive it could easily take all day and night practically!
