| 1314252 | 2012-11-23 01:55:00 | Toshiba 2.5" 250Gb ran Seagate Disk Tools: at 40% fizzed out just stopped with a dos message saying test was complete & there was a constant tone coming from the laptop. pulled the hard drive & attached to another computer & ran Seagate Disk Tools again & it just quite right away then I ran HDAT2 drive test & its going through!!? Should I be concerned? Why did Seagate Disk Tools seem to fail? |

| 1314256 | 2012-11-25 00:25:00 | Does HDAT2 show anything up for SMART data? | Agent_24 (57) | ||
| 1314257 | 2012-11-25 20:59:00 | HDAT2 status: OK | NZHawk (4093) | ||
| 1314258 | 2012-11-25 22:33:00 | I am getting conflicting results on diagnostic tests. The Toshiba test FAILed Fujitsu test: didn't recognize the drive Hard Disk Sentinel: passed GWScan: is scanning without error yet is there a comprehensive hdd diagnostics that someone could recommend? |

| 1314260 | 2012-11-26 00:15:00 | Perhaps the issue is not the drive but the laptop itself, might explain the non-conclusive results... For the software that do report errors, do they give detail as to what the error was? Have you tried testing it with those same programs, with the drive in another machine etc Or perhaps those software just don't like the drive \ laptop. HDAT2 is a good do-all program. If it comes up with no issue then it is probably right (assuming you are not running the old 4.8.1 version that is just a demo!) Make sure you run either v4.5.3 or v4.9 BETA1 |

| 1314261 | 2012-11-26 00:18:00 | Good suggestion - thank you but, most all of the diagnostics have been done with the drive in another machine. |
