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.
