I'm burning the first CD. Is there some precautions I should take before the tests? Like backups or somethinig?
EDIT: Im getting an error for the Hard Drive test
EDIT: An error with the Ram test too! > This file is invalid for use as the following: Security Catalog
Help pls
Neither test has been known to lose data, so I don't think you need to take precautions.
Of course, it's always a good idea to keep a backup on hand, but that is beyond the scope of this thread.
+1 for asking though.
I'm having errors with both files... The Hard Drive test seems to need a floppy disk and the RAM test is giving me an error after burning the CD! When I try to boot, it says 'This file is invalid for use as the following: Security Catalog'
Try downloading the SeaTools instead: SeaTools for Windows | Seagate
Did you burn the ISO to a CD using an ISO burner, or did you just copy the ISO to the CD using Windows?
I used ISO burner.
Just to let you know... my hard drive is Maxtor... are you sure thats the right link?
Yes, I am aware of that. Apparently you were having trouble with the Maxtor program, so hopefully SeaTools should work instead.
Running tests right now! Thanks for the program! What am I gonna do about that RAM test?
could i throw a ball into this game, a few years ago i had the same problem,random restarts, could'nt find the cause, so i started removing hardware piece by piece until i found the culprit , turned out to be a loose connection on a cold cathode tube !!! so it may be worth trying all connections , reseating cards etc just in case it is something as stupid as happened to me
