I have now downloaded and run Seagate's tools and it does show a does
show a disk error. Since it stops on the first error I do not know if
this is an isolated error, or a more systematic problem.
Automatic Write Reallocation Enable (AWRE) is on by default, but
Automatic Read Reallocation Enable (ARRE) is off. If I set ARRE on and
then run the long test (which reads all sectors sequentially), will that
reallocate any bad sectors and mark them as such? Is this a safe thing
to do?
