That's just the way command line is. SeaTools GUI usually works fine on internal HDDs, it's externals where it sucks.Can you make that a bit simper . Thank you
Yes, that's just a cautionary statement saying to format in MBR if you want it recognizable on Windows XP and earlier. If you don't use Windows XP, you should format it with GPT. If it's being used as a Windows OS disk on a UEFI computer, or if it's above 2TB in total capacity, it should be formatted in GPT. Anyways, this isn't relevant to the I/O Device Error topic, as this isn't an error, and the I/O error isn't about GPT or MBR in particular.i get this message note the gpt partition style is not recognized by all previous versions of windows .
It won't change anything, because there is no drive letter until it is formatted. A letter is actually a volume letter, not a drive letter. Drives are numbered, as shown by Task Manager (Disk 0, Disk 1, Disk 2). Letters are for filesystems, which are guests to partitions, which in turn are just guests to an entire disk. The filesystem type, or even the partitioning scheme (MBR/GPT), will have no effect on I/O Device Errors while formatting the disk in entirety.How will i change the drive letter , maybe that will help
I made it simpler. Extract the ZIP. Right-click this CMD file and choose Run as Administrator, and a series of openSeaChest tests will be performed without any command line intervention. A popup notification will be displayed when the results are available, so you won't need to look at the Command Prompt.Can you make that a bit simper . Thank you
It looks to be the false warning because a Disk 2 is not present (the ST10000VN004 likely became a different number). Since openSeaChest incorrectly uses Error Code 3 for unavailable disks, when it is supposed to use Error Code 2 for, there isn't a way to fix this issue in this file. Sorry for such an embarrassingly low-quality experience, speaking of low quality. I should of refrained from posting it, since there isn't a way around that bug. I have not made this simple, and have spilled way too much complexity onto your side. Since SeaTools was able to open, you can try testing the ST10000VN004 from there. By the way, Task Manager shows which numbers refer to which disks.Thanks it says disk 2 is defective , but which drive is disk 2 i stopped using this drive because it was dodgy . Its not showing , tried again same result . The drive is showing that time
That's the ST8000AS002, not the ST10000VN004.I'v been on well over an hour starting my pc , first i got scanning and repairing drive c 100% then lets finish setting up your device .
If there are I/O Device Errors, all software on Windows will be the same. The question is if the I/O Errors are caused by the HDD or something else like the cable. It is probably the HDD. What does SeaTools show for the UDMA CRC Error Count (cable errors)? I think it's under Start Tests > Drive Information. Sorry for the runaround.How will i intialise it with this .
Yes, Windows 7 is superior and would have remained leading indefinitely if not for the arbitrary end of support, but how does startup sounds have to do with I/O Device Error? I think this is a Seagate issue, not a Windows 10 issue. Linux would likely have Input/Output Errors as well.Surprise , surprise it don't work . When people on here say it's the easiest windows ever , thats shit when you had a choice to turn the windows start up sound on or off and other things like that that was the easiest . There used to be very few web pages , 10 subjects for each webpage . Now theres 1000s of help pages alone
