Solved Disk partition has no volume (Annoying)

[Kaktussoft]

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.

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

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