I ran the Quick Test and File System test for each Seagate drive and on a several of them, SeaTools found some sectors that may possibly be bad. I ran chkdsk /f /r (is the /r redundant?) on every drive I downloaded Seagate's Seatools Desktop, loaded them up on a floppy, and booted off. I use eMule a lot to get TV shows that I can't get in the US and my H drive was being used throughout all of that.
I'm guess the OS attempted to write into a sector that was bad on that particular hard drive? Well, following that entry were at least a hundred "Delayed Write Failure" and "Data not saved something something" errors all related to my H:\ drive. I checked the Event Viewer and under the system log, the problem began with a error/warning saying that the hard drive has a bad block. I now have a 80GB Maxtor paperweight and following that, in another computer I have gotten these wierd "Delayed Write Failure" error balloons from Windows XP for one of my Seagate hard drives (my H:\ drive). Lastly, Seagate SeaTools also directly connects with some Microsoft system tools that come installed with Windows, but that you may never have even heard of, like the tool to eliminate malicious software, or the one that helps you manage hard drives.Well, this is just great. Additionally, you can have all the information associated with the disk up on your screen (model number, series number, firmware version, SMART, etc.), or run an advanced test that could even erase certain information that you have stored. There aren't very many basic tests that you can run, but you can adjust the intensity of the tests according to your needs.
Seagate SeaTools examines the physical surface of the disks in search of problems that may cause the disks to malfunction. Seagate SeaTools is an official tool from the maker of Seagate hard drives, designed to help you identify possible problems in your machine's disk drives, or any other external drive that you may connect from time to time.
