I think that's what I'm gonna do first thing tomorrow (no computer stores open here on sundays...). Any tips on having the bad disk checked after I pull it? (Like on what and with what tool). It's a WD green.

I'd connect it to a PC and run WD's Data Lifeguard utilities -- both the short and extended tests.

Runnig that now!   (Disk connected through SATA/USB adapter)

 

So just to add a final comment to this, yes, DLG Tools failed the disk witht he longer test, so I will just be tossing it  (maybe doing a wipe first  on whatever can be done just to be safe before dumping it).

 

I want to change this to solved but I don't see any options for changing the title or whatever. How does one do that?

 

Thanks!
