| 1165015 | 2010-12-28 03:10:00 | As at 4:09pm Tuesday it is at 46485579 - 44%. | Tony (4941) | ||

| 1165017 | 2010-12-28 04:23:00 | Look at SMART. That will give you an idea of how screwed it is, especially the "reallocated sector count" HDAT2 will be a better tool to test it than CHKDSK, because it will test the entire surface, CHKDSK may not test the entire thing. |

It certainly looks comprehensive. I don't think I'll bother though, as it is most unlikely I'll be keeping the drive. It still amazes me that I can be so casual about tossing a 500gb drive, when not that long ago a 500mb drive would have been costing an arm and a leg and been an item to be nurtured and cherished. |

| 1165021 | 2010-12-29 01:58:00 | 15:00 Wednesday, and the count is 65,360,160 - 58%. | Tony (4941) | ||
| 1165022 | 2010-12-30 02:59:00 | Another 24 hours, another 15%. 86,006,160 - 73% I'd say it is not going to frinish before I leave tomorrow morning. |
