the test itself failed...im running a defragment right now...but i think something is up...im using like 100GB of my 300GB drive and it really "doesnt need to be defraged" says the anaylsis but im doing it anyway...and over night it only got 38% complete

call Gateway?

You are using segates diagonostic software to test the drive correct?

did you ever Try what i said?


1.go to start,run,cmd,chkdsk /f

click yes to let it restart and run the check
 
failed as in didn't even start, crashed, gave you an error before finishing, said the hdd had errors?

chkdsk /f and virus scans came up with nada...

looks like its time to reformatte already...

damn gateway :rolleyes: :mad:
 
Ya can reformat as many times as ya want, but ya missing the point that ya drive has failed 2 tests already, so the problems wont go away mate.
 
no the chkdsk test passed....the seagate dianostic didnt finish which i am assuming is a failure....
