I have seagate tools when I have a Seagate drive this (it only works with Seagate drives), one is a Western Digital WD400EB the same as my old drive.Įaseus Partition Master formats the drive FAT32 32Kbit clusters thats the lowest setting available. I just want to prove to the seller that it shows bad sectors when he says its had a full scan with WinXP and there is nothing wrong. I do a DOS scandisk and it taking a long time after the Out of Memory restarts and its showing 20% of the drive with bad sectors. I did a full scan with WinXP after a restart and nothing found. I use this version all the time and it can detect if you have a bad flat cable or other problems, make sure you get OK on all tests.Īs I said I did a format and scan with Easeus Partition Master and found nothing wrong. My suggestion download Seagate SEATOOLS from this link, its my upload of a old version of Seatools, it includes seatoold_en.exe to generate a boot floppy, if the machine doesn't have a floppy you have to burn the ISO included (use the function to burn image on your burning software).īoot with the Seatools disk and check the options to test the memory, disk controller, and the Hard Disk. You could have a bad memory or a bad flat cable. Something strange is happening if you did a surface scan for errors and the disk its fine it doesn't make any sense format complaining about bad sectors. I also formatted the drive with D:\win9x\ and it said there were some bad sectors. I've found scandisk.exe on my Win98SE disk but that only works in MS DOS 5.0 or less.ĭoes anyone know of the location of scandisk.exe on the CD?Įdited by Keithuk, 23 September 2012 - 11:03 AM.Įaseus Partition Master formats the drive FAT32 32bit clusters thats the lowest setting available. I've done a full surface scan for errors and nothing shows up. Now I've had the drive in an external caddy and formatted it FAT32 with EASEUS Partition Master on my main computer. He says all drives are checked for errors before selling them. I know I can use setup /is to bypass the scandisk but I really need the final report so I can complain to the seller. Now you can run scandisk /autofix so it does ask to fix errors but I can't find scankdisk.exe on the CD so I can leave it running until its fixed everything. When it find a good part because the Enter key is held down it exits and you have to start all over again. If it finds any errors and I select fix you have to keep on sitting there pressing the Enter putton to fix every error, held something on the Enter key. I've bought another 40GB drive of fleabay but when WinME installs it does the DOS scandisk to check the drive. I did a full scandisk in DOS but it shows alot of bad blocks. I've searched the forum but nothing shows because you can't search on here for scandisk.exe it removes the period so there is nothing with scandiskexe.
