Hi all,
My system is a Dell Studio XPS 9100, Win 7 Home Premium, with a Seagate ST31500341AS 1.5T Serial ATA 2 HD. A couple of days ago when I closed Outlook 2007 a Microsoft Office Diagnostics window opened and asked if I wanted to find out why Outlook was crashing so much. I ran the diagnostics, and although it could not determine why Outlook was crashing, I got information that the hard drive was going to "crash" soon (or words to that effect).
I would like to run some diagnostics tests on the HD to see if the hard drive is in danger of crashing very soon. I purchased this system almost exactly two years ago, and am hoping that the Office Diagnostics are not accurate, but want to be sure.
What do you recommend? Is Seatools still a reliable way to go? Should I run the DOS version over the Windows version?
Any other suggestions you can give will be appreciated. Please let me know if you need more information.
Thanks,
Ellen
