Saying again, if you are not savvy with the BIOS update, dont go for it. Any interruption will convert it to a brick only. Take the help of anyone who can do it.
If you want to test the HDD, use Seatool for dos: SeaTools | Seagate download
- Burn it in a blank cd. boot from the CD, click on "Accept", wait for it to finish detecting the drives, then in the upper left corner select "Basic Tests", then select "Long Test" and let it run.
- You can use Win32 DiscImager to create a bootable USB and run Seatools for DOS. Follow this post to know how to make a bootable Seatools USB.
Be prepared that the long test will take a sizable time to be completed.
