Suggest you run Extended Test rather than 'Quick Test', which is what's showing in the log. Allow it to run overnight if time is a factor. > # The DLGDIAG - Select an Option window appears. > # You will see the following options: > > * QUICK TEST - performs SMART drive quick self-test to gather and verify the Data Lifeguard > information contained on the drive. > * EXTENDED TEST - performs a Full Media Scan to detect bad sectors. Test may take several hours > to complete depending on the size of the drive. > * WRITE ZEROS - writes zeros to the drive with options of Full Erase and Quick Erase. File system > and data will be lost. > * VIEW TEST RESULT - displays the latest test results. > > # Select the test you wish to perform and click the Start button.
