Seatools error fix log ( created by me ) :
I started the long test
at around 4% it found 97 errors & suggested me to repair
those errors so I did so.
Again I started the long test :
at around 37% it found 100 errors & suggested me to repair
those errors so I did so.
Again I started the long test :
at around 73% it found 87 errors & suggested me to repair
those errors so I did so.
Again I started the long test :
at around 71% it found 88 errors & suggested me to repair
those errors but these time I lost my all patience :mad
What you guys suggest ? Should I try once more coz on the seatools
readme I found :
Quote:
When SeaTools discovers a bad sector through reading, at the end of
the scan it displays a list of the bad sectors.
If a sector is in use, then that file is incomplete or corrupt. When
a bad sector happens to align with a folder or directory listing
structure, then the links to files and sub-folders it manages may be
broken. Sectors are often not in use.
You should carefully consider the importance of your data. While the
sector is currently unreadable, if the file or folder is important to
you then you may need professional recovery services to possibly
reclaim the data. In this case, select NO to exit without trying to
reallocate blank replacement sectors on the drive.
If you have decided that the file or folder is replaceable, already
backed up or just not important to you, then you can tell SeaTools to
attempt to overwrite the sector.
By design, modern disc drives maintain spare sectors for reallocation
purposes. Usually, sectors become difficult to read long before they
become impossible to read. In this situation the actual data bytes in
the sector are preserved and transferred to the new spare during a
sector reallocation. Similarly, when a disc drive writes data and
encounters a problem, the drive firmware retires the problem sector
and activates a replacement before giving successful write status.
If you give permission to overwrite a bad sector SeaTools will attempt
to write a pattern of zeros to that sector. Usually, this action will
assist the disc drive firmware in managing the problem by retiring the
problem LBA and activating a spare in its place.

or you guys think I should take it to the service center or to the
shop from where I had bought it. I am a little panic abt the
online RMA coz on the PACKAGING terms of the hdd they said :
Quote:
IMPROPER PACKAGING WILL VOID THE WARRANTY
3. Enclose the drive in an anti-static container. If packaging more
than one drive, use a separate bag for each drive.
4. Secure the drive in Seagate approved packaging. Use 2-inch thick
foam rubber in a corrugated box. Multiple drives in a single box
should be packaged with foam rubber between each drive. Do NOT
use foam packing pellets, bubble wrap, or newspaper. (See Seagate
Approved Packaging section, below.)
What is Seagate Approved Packaging?
We recommend you ship your drive in its original box and packing
materials, which you should always keep for storing and shipping
purposes. If you do not have your original packaging materials,
use 2-inch thick foam rubber in a corrugated box. Multiple drives
in a single box should be packaged with foam rubber between each
drive. Do NOT use foam packing pellets, bubble wrap, or newspaper.

Now in point No. 3 & 4 they'.re telling us to pck the drive in the original
anti static bag with foam.
on the other hand in the approved packaging section they're telling us
either we should only pack it into the original antistatic bag or if we
don't have the pack then we should pack it into some 2 inch thick foam.
Now guys can one of you tell me the exact procedure of packaging the hdd
& where I can get those 2 inch thick foam ?
Also which courier & what kind of sending method I should use ?
What will be the charges of sending the Hdd ?
