That's what I had use to know I got a bad sector in the first place. I tried runing the short test and the other one that wasn't extended. All failed before they could complete bout 90%. Tried just awhile ago and it failed to continue runing after 10sec, saying cannot read. I jus ran a memtest, its clean. Windows 7 finally booted, but saying it cannot access my desktop and a lot of errors now, sumting about read error and corrupted files. Its just problem after problem. I guess everyone else here is better off than me right now?
