So every disk was marked having failed "at least one test," but all passed the SMART. However, on EVERY drive, SeaTools said that there was something wrong with the filesystem and advised me to try my OS's utilities to resolve them. They specifically stated "possibly" and I just groaned. I ran the Quick Test and File System test for each Seagate drive and on a several of them, SeaTools found some sectors that may possibly be bad. I ran chkdsk /f /r (is the /r redundant?) on every drive I downloaded Seagate's Seatools Desktop, loaded them up on a floppy, and booted off. I use eMule a lot to get TV shows that I can't get in the US and my H drive was being used throughout all of that. I'm guess the OS attempted to write into a sector that was bad on that particular hard drive? Well, following that entry were at least a hundred "Delayed Write Failure" and "Data not saved something something" errors all related to my H:\ drive. I checked the Event Viewer and under the system log, the problem began with a error/warning saying that the hard drive has a bad block. I now have a 80GB Maxtor paperweight and following that, in another computer I have gotten these wierd "Delayed Write Failure" error balloons from Windows XP for one of my Seagate hard drives (my H:\ drive).
