This can be indicative of Hard drive issues even imminent failure.I tried the hardware scan and it found one error (SMART Short Self Test)

Hi,So I runned seatools and it detected an error. (see appendix)
It recommended to run SeaTools DOS.
Hence, I burned it on a CD like memtest86 and tried to run it in the same way.
However, it does not detect the CD for some reason?
Reference: Hard disk failure of the month - Samsung / Seagate ST1000LM024 - CDR - Manchester Data Recovery ServicesOver recent weeks CDR – Manchester Data Recovery Services – have seen a high incidence of failure in the following Seagate / Samsung Momentus HDDs:
Frequently these hard disk drives are packaged as Seagate hard disk drives. The HDDs we have received have been inside both laptops and external caddies. The drives use native Samsung technology. Since Seagate acquired Samsung drives in December 2011 Seagate have continued to manufacturer Samsung HDDs but have started using Seagate branding and model numbers.
- ST1000LM024 (Can also be labelled as HN-M101MBB)
- ST1000LM025 (integrated USB portable HDD)
- ST750LM022
- ST750LM023 (integrated USB portable HDD)
- ST640LM001
- ST500LM012
- ST500LM013 (integrated USB portable HDD)
Almost always in these instances we are discussing the 'C' drive.Which drive are you referring to?
Lol!I just discovered that my internal hard drive is also from Seagate
Why not consider an SSD? If you can find one thats compatible then it's one of the best ways of improving performance and it will feel like a new machine lol.Furthermore (I do not know if this is true but) since these hard drives have these troubles, would it be better to replace it with a different type hdd?

Lol!
