Disk partition has no volume (Annoying)

sagefilms said:

yes i agree but it was the regular libraries-documents, music, pictures, videos

but im using the seagate for DOS and doing a long test, its taking a long time i will post the results when its done

You's better do the short test first. If that fails.... disk is faulty.
Anyway.. let the long test run for many hours now and post the results.

Do the short test as well. Post exact errors.
Help how to use it http://www.seagate.com/support/seato...lsDOSguide.pdf

it says the same thing, "bad sectors"

No other info shown on screen? No log file?
How old is the disk?

sagefilms said:

it basically just said it failed because of bad sectors and im doing a full erase, i dont care about the files in the hdd i can replace them

its a seagate momentus 320gb 7200.4... in an asus g60v

Why do you think a "full erase" will fix bad sectors?
Still waranty? Warranty Validation

so apparently the erase did work and i was able to install windows 8.1 successfully. now im going to install windows 7 because i like it better.

Thank you for the help, and you were the only one :)

Very strange.... real bad sectors can't be fixed that way.
