Full erase many different applications (not only SeaTools as 'official')is done + formatting both FAT32 and NTFS.Only there is 'trash' at SMART I can not delete.Any suggestions?.HDD is SeaGate Hard Disk Model ID,ST96812A FW 3.05 NOT in warranty (age time).MartinJV Europe 2011 02 10 written Now cleaned and put to 'healthy' environment - the drive is 100% OK. at the original NoteBook use (24 hours 8 minutes all together). Before any test start SeaTools says the drive is 'Smart Tripped', gives Warranty validation Code, other words - the drive has so many errors recorded by SMART and has to be exchanged.Conclusion is - the 'dead' drive had bad cables, contacts and/or drivers and/or bad power supply etc. The 'failed' drive tested Seagate SeaTools Windows 1204 AND SeaTools DOS V2.20 - drive is OK. The drive has been exchanged in HP noteBook for a new one.The warranty is not covered by SeaGate (an OEM product for HP), neither HP because there is only HDD Serial Number and not the Product (NoteBook) serial number.
