I replaced the drive with another one that I had laying around.
The tests, by the boot disk is not very descriptive other than the
controller ATA test Failed. All partitions/sectors on the disk are good.
I
took the bad drive and put it in my test computer (computer that I test
different software on before loading to my main computer). On that
computer, I don't get any warnings at all. Seems to run fine. I guess
it's
okay for testing as long as I don't fill it up with critical items that
could be lost... when/if it fails.

ha!
I figured that would be the answer.
The drive is a Seagate ST360020A
I'm looking at there stuff on the web, but not sure what tool I need
yet.
I'm still reviewing as I finish my last partition to copy.

It's in the same category as "my engine is making a funny noise".
Could
go for months, could blow up before you finish backing up the data.

I'm doing that now.
I don't suppose there's any idea approx how long it takes for a real

problem

to occur?

Hi,

I agree with Bob that I think you should backup the important data
to

avoid


any potential loss

It's the drive S.M.A.R.T. system informing you that trouble is
heading
your way. Use the drive manufacturers diagnostic software. Get it
from
their website.

On boot up, I'm getting a Text Warning Message (while still in

continue and boot.

So I ran Norton Disk Doctor that found nothing. I've defraged

everything


with no issues.
How do I know that this message is correct?
What do I do?
