Hard Drive testing

Hi

I have a backup program called Casper, I have been using it for many years and think it is great.

A couple of days ago it reported that it could not do a backup because my Seagate hard drive was faulty.

I have run the drive through all the basic tests on Seatools and it has passed, I have done windows chkdsk
and "error checking" and none reported any errors, but Casper does not do a backup because it sees that my Seagate hard drive is faulty.

Any ideas on how to fix this, is there another HDD test I can run?

Thanks

Daniel

Using method 2, chkdsk and repair. I have a similiar problem with problem with Windows 10 and have found that if the hard drive is very bad it cannot be repaired. If the problem is not too extensive it will be repaired and you will be able to make your image. BTW, the repair procedure is that it takes bad sectors and stores them in a section that will not be used. Good luck; let us know how you do.
