I create a bootable CD with Seatools for DOS, set the controller in the BIOS to IDE mode and boot from it and the CD either hangs silently, or hangs with an “invalid opcode” error.įollowing the instructions here, I create a bootable USB drive with Seatools for DOS. I installed Seatools for Windows, and it detects all the HDs in my system except the boot drive, which is the one I want to check. I have a Gigabyte P55-USB3 motherboard, and that I have the Intel controller set to RAID mode: I’d like to use Seatools to do a through test of the drive before replacing it, but the problem is that I can't get it to work. I really don't know why that would be since I don't think they are stored on the same sectors internally, it could be a coincidence.I have a Seagate 1TB HD set up as my boot drive, and according to its SMART parameters, it’s starting to fail: the “Reallocated sectors count” is at 458 (and has been increasing for the last months), while “Current pending sectors” and “Uncorrectable sectors” have recently jumped from 0 to 3. I should add that a majority of the files that went bad were at the bottom of my folder list, which is listed alphabetically.
What would be the best way to test this drive because clearly the s.m.a.r.t status shows no issues. I have backed up what I could onto a new drive, but am wondering if this drive is shot or not? I would never use it for important data again, but maybe for some type of redundant drive. The 4tb drive shows a completely healthy s.m.a.r.t status via crystal disk check. They worked fine again for a year but now cannot be salvaged, even after using iso buster.
Many of these files were salvaged from another hard drive that became raw and had to be reformatted and recovered via easeus recovery software.
They show in the folder and mount via virtual clone drive, but none of the software programs (vlc, powerdvd, make mkv) recognizes them. I have a 4tb Seagate drive that suddenly has about 50 bd iso files not playing.
