[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 353915, member: 6969"] So Mrs PD's Acer laptop is still acting up. Following last weeks crash blamed on a dud AVG update (removed AVG and lappy seemed fine and a LOT quicker) I's playing up again. In the last week it's crashed with a BSOD twice. First time it restarted and re booted on it's own fine. Second time on the re boot attempt it reported "No Operating system found". Power off and back on and it re booted normally. So is the HDD acting up? Is it sometimes not responding hence the crashes? Well I downloaded WD's Date Lifeguard diagnostic tool to try and find out. First thing is it reports it's S.M.A.R.T status as "pass" But trying to run a "quick test" times out after a minute of no progress (and no HDD activity light on the PC) saying "18-Quick Test: Read Verify Sector EXt Error" I've googled that and the only mention I can find of it are people trying to recover dead drives that they can't write to or can't even read. But his drive is responding normally reading and writing fine. And why was the HDD light not on suggesting to me it wasn't even trying? The drive is a WDC800BEVS-22RST0 All OS disk tests come back fine. Any other tools I can use? [/QUOTE]
