About this tag
The confidence test is a diagnostic tool referenced in a discussion about persistent NTFS errors and disk issues on a Dell Studio XPS 8000 after a hard drive replacement. In the thread, the user ran a confidence test from boot-up, which returned a result of no problems found, despite ongoing Event ID 55 errors indicating file system corruption.
