It's possible that faulty RAM is the cause of your problems, which would explain the missing files etc and may even cause the Dell diagnostic to report a HDD error that doesn't exist. So download and run http://www.memtest.org/ first. If that passes, go on to checking the HDD itself with Western Digital's own tools (Seatools is no good as you say because it's not a seagate drive) support.wdc.com I would use either the bootable CD or Floppy version, running the test within windows is not the best way. Another very good program is http://www.hdat2.com/ I would download and do a full test of the drive with either or both of those programs. |
