though I'm not sure why one has 90% remaining and the other 60%. I suspect I may have scheduled two short tests at the same time. Only the 'selftest' output documents any kind of a problem - though I'm not 100% clear how to interpret it. # 4 Extended offline Completed without error 00% 5532. Num Test_Description Status Remaining LifeTime(hours) LBA_of_first_error SMART Self-test log structure revision number 1 and, after scheduling some tests, I get these results: $ smartctl -l error /dev/sdb I followed this up by investigations with smartctl.

Yesterday, smartd started reporting a problem: Jan 18 06:08:03 svr smartd: Device: /dev/sdb, 2 Currently unreadable (pending) sectors

Here's the screen of the list and the analayze->deep search I did for the 'dev/sdc'.įailed both the short self drive test and the long generic.īoth of them failed/found an error in the 1st minutes, even seconds of the tests so I'm guessing the the boot sector is wrong but I'm not sure about it, nor am I sure about what's the best way to fix it.I bought a 1TB Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 - ST31000528AS drive about 18 months ago because it had a 5-year warranty, and used it alongside a Samsung Spinpoint under Ubuntu Server as one half of a software RAID-1 array. I don't really know with which to go or whether I should choose the recommended 'none' partition type or 'intel' type(since I'm pretty sure it was NTFS). I then formatted my internal 500GB HDD where the former Windows used to live.įor some reasons after I re-installed Windows my Seagate External USB 4TB HDD turned RAW.ġ) In windows Disk Management the drive's file system is 'RAW'.Ģ) Shows in windows explorer with a letter 'H:'.ģ) Not accessible / 'Do you want to format the drive?' warnings appear when trying to access the drive.Ĥ) Same things happen when the drive is connected to my laptop so it's the not the computer, it's the disk that's malfunctioning. I've recently bought a new SSD and installed a Windows 7 Ultimate on it.
