Windows detected a hard disk problem

[hmz]

Ok, so I just came back to home and found this error in front of me. I've never seen it before. What do I do?

not to be Captain Obvious, but an immediate backup would be in order, then you can figure out what's wrong............

Agreed. Back up. If it still works you can go to the Seagate site and download Seatools. If it fails you can RMA it. If it passes, put it in the microwave until it fails. (For the people that would, don't really microwave it).

Damn. Making a backup with Acronis. That windows error pops up every couple minutes

I used SeaTools for Dos and ran long test during the night. Didn't find any errors. Windows still pops up the error. Could it be PSU fault?

Does it pass a "badblocks" test in Linux?

Well, I don't have Linux installed. Looks like the hdd is bad because it fails short DST, and short generic tests. I am going to RMA it sometime next week.

This is the first hdd which failed on me
