CHKDSK log file

[Snafu34]

I have a Seagate 2TB drive that is starting to fail. Random programs not respnding for 10-30 seconds. (no crashes) I did a test using the Seagate software an it failed the first test. Software suggested running CHKDSK and to retry. I ran the CHKDSK with f and unfortunately it still failed the Seagate test. I have tried to clone the drive with Seagate and Aomei and neither would complete the cloning. Below is the log file from the CHKDSK - With this untrained eye - I can't tell just how sick it really is. Anyone know the details of reading these logs files ? I belive the scan on 6/15 is when the drive started to show signs of failing. (not sure) Thank you for looking

Hi,

is this an SSD or HDD?, is this a laptop or normal PC?. If it is a PC, is the SSD/HDD connected to SATA0 on the motherboard?.

 

[Snafu34]

Wolfie- It's a Seagate Barracuda 2TB HDD Dell XPS 8500 desktop. Disk management labels it as Disk 0. I hope that answers your ?
I am not at the box today- it's is my office computer.

 

[BigFeet]

Download and run CrystalDiskInfo. That will check your SMART data and see if/how the disk is failing.
https://crystalmark.info/en/software/crystaldiskinfo/

 

[Snafu34]

CrystalDiskinfo says caution but even worse it lists no file information at all. That can't be good. 49K hours on it. Wow.

Hi Snafu34,

if you can open the PC case and take a look at how the SATA cables are connected, it would help, if the HDD is in SATA2 (as an example), it can possibly lead to false readings if another drive (a different HDD/SDD or DVD) is using SATA0.

 

[BigFeet]

CrystalDiskinfo says caution but even worse it lists no file information at all. That can't be good. 49K hours on it. Wow.

Can you post a screenshot so we can see what's causing it? 50,000 hours isn't unheard of if your drive is running 24/7. I have an old pata drive from 2004 that only has 28,000 hours on it. But it's SMART data is fine.

 

[Snafu34]

Wolfie- The Del XPS has 4 SATA ports. The original hard drive is on sata0, dvd is on sata1 and the new drive in on sata2.

Bigfeet- here you are- sure look like the partitions got screwed up on the original hard drive.

 

[Wolfie]

new drive in on sata2

Hi Snafu34,

is the new drive the one that currently runs your OS?. If it is, that would need to be connected to SATA0 and not SATA2!.

Regardless of how many drives you have, the one containing the main OS should always be SATA0.

 

[BigFeet]

Hmmm. No information at all. I don't know why the drive isn't producing any SMART data. A "Caution" under health status doesn't necessarily mean there's imminent danger of the drive failing. I would be sure to backup any important data just in case. Maybe someone else will have more insight in to why it's not showing SMART data, or why it's throwing up a "Caution" under health status.

 

[Snafu34]

Hi Snafu34,

is the new drive the one that currently runs your OS?. If it is, that would need to be connected to SATA0 and not SATA2!.

Regardless of how many drives you have, the one containing the main OS should always be SATA0.

The new drive, disk1 in disk management, is virtual empty. Windows 10 is on disk0. Crystal report if for disk0. CHKDSK log is for disk0
which I have attempted to clone to disk1

 

[Wolfie]

I am talking about the SATA connections on your motherboard, not what is showing in Disk Management!.

The drive with the operating sys in on sata0 as delivered from Dell

 

[BigFeet]

I've had operating systems on all the sata ports while dual and triple booting without issue. It's ideal for the OS to be 0, but not necessary. On some motherboards like mine, 0 and 1 are faster ports. Anyways if you look at his disk management screenshot, his OS is Disk0.

 

[Wolfie]

It depends on whether the SATA ports are colour coded or not, if there is no colour code, it doesn't matter, if SATA0 is a different colour to the other SATA ports, it does. I always recommend using SATA0 for that just in case scenario!.
