hello im not sure if i have a faulty drive or not..
i have a 500gb segate baricudda drive its about 2yrs old..
it had my win7 installation on it..
i have been playing starcraft for a few weeks and sometimes sc would make the computer completely freeze up. so the only thing i could do was a hard reset.
eventually i found that my music files and videos wernt playing right from that drive..
and the drives read speeds were changing ALOT between 11 and 100mb sec
so i reformated the drive and installed windows on a different drive..
i ran a win7 scandisk on that drive.. and ofcoarce it didnt tell me any details about what it found out..
so i ran hdtune and it found a few bad blocks..
now the drive seems to be working correctly.
the files i copy onto the drive seem to be playing fine.. and well.. i even copied manny gb of useless junk to fill up the begining portion of the drive so that i am useing the middle and end of the drive when i play files off of it..
is there any programs that can give a really in depth scan of my drive and let me know if it is safe to use and count on again?
