Mesage to say backup immediately

hmm it look like SMART has found problems with the drive.... most probably be bad sectors...

could you do a hard disk diagnostic...

Also please attach the whole log along with app and system.

I think he means:

SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker

After:
Disk Check

to be clear.

Well not exactly Justin.....

SFC is more for windows files system check

What he has is a SMART error which is more related to the physical hard drive... something like Seagate Seatool or WD or Samsung software.....

Also he could use GRC's Spinrite to check the HDD as well.

That to. Then in this case:

[*]Run all but the advanced tests with SeaTools for HDDs.

SeaTools for Windows

SeaTools for DOS

I need to stop trying this stuff when I'm really tired. I end up getting everything confused. lol

So to get it clear in my mind I do a scannow on the machine with the drive in situ?

I did a Seagate tools scan a while ago and they came up pass for this drive and my SSD but will run again and see.

Its worse trying to do a BSOD analysis lol. But go ahead re run the Seagate tools. Just for safe measures.

Well fellas I think game over as the wretched thing showed up in Seagate then promptly disappeared it's spinning but no SATA connection.
