File Structure Test Result:

The following errors were found while scanning the volume:
- One or more errors were found in the index
- Other errors were found

the official file system diagnostic utilities for your operating system.

******************************************


Recommendation:
All selected physical diagnostics passed.

If you are not experiencing data loss and SeaTools reports File
System Structure errors, they may be caused by a lock-up or
failure to shutdown Windows correctly. Many times, these errors
may be repaired through normal system maintenance which
includes using the Windows provided "Defrag" and
"Scandisk / Chkdsk / Error Checking" utilities.

If you are experiencing a hardware error, you should isolate
the cause and replace the failing component. If you are unsure how
to proceed with repairs, contact a computer professional. After
completing any maintenance tasks, run SeaTools again to
verify that all errors have been repaired. If errors continue to
occur, the system may not be stable. Again, contact a computer
professional.

I split the results into 2 pieces. It took me 15mins to startup my pc after seatools. If still nothing works, I'll uninstall some programs and maybe format the seagate hdd.

thanks alot for your help guys. really. what do you think? the errors look serious

[Virtualbody1234]

Looks like the drive passes physical tests.

Make backups of all the data you want to keep and then remove partition(s) from that drive. Repartition and reformat the drive and run the tests again.

[maebach]

I guess I'll do that.

DO you guys know why my pc is so slow?

it took 12 mins to startup, and it takes 30 sec to load FF. also I cant run 2 programs at the same time

[maebach]

I used partition magic, to delete the partition, and format the drive. then I ran seatools again.:

HELP!!!!!

does anybody know if this could be making my pc go soooo slooooooooooowwwwww

thanks

[maebach]

I just realized that theres a five year warranty on the drive

should I send it back? does anybody know what could be making my pc go so slow? I've defragged and scanned for viruses using nod32

[fkdup74]

seatools says the physical drive is fine, so....
I blame this on Partition Magic :acronisfanboy:

Or a software problem. Maybe a virus, trojan or something like that.

I'm a bit confused about something here. You say you formatted and the PC is so slow. Did you do a fresh install of Windows or are you still running the old setup?
