I have a multi-drive machine and one has an XP drive that I rarely use, but still I want it to be in good condition as there is one piece of software that will not run on Win10. On each boot CHKDSK /F runs and *never* finds a problem. If that drive is in the machine and I run Win10, it too will run CHKDSK /F on that XP drive. I suspect the drive itself has some defect so I cloned it to another drive. Though it did run CHKDSK /F the first time, after that it behaved normally so I plan to simply set the original drive aside. Just curious what could be wrong. I ran the Seagate short test and it found no problems nor had SMART been tripped. I am now running the long test. There is also an option to run an acoustical test. What the heck is that? Might as well run that one too.
