實在是太感謝了!!

真的太感謝囉...可以自己測試硬碟啦~~~

請問執行診斷程式會不會把資料刪除？
小弟一顆Maxtot 80G液態軸承，用不到半年，執行VoptXP時有許多紅色壞軌，不知是否是實體壞軌，診斷程式有沒有修復功能？

1.只要非執行low level format是不會損及資料
2.當使用powermax診斷後發現有bad sector在MAXTOR網站上也有提及可用以修復
但個人認為有時某些HDD問題可利用低階格式化解決但並非都如此run完後有壞軌還是備份
後送修較好..
以下附上powermax執行後出現錯誤訊息時的一些解決方法

剛剛在MAXTOR上閱讀powermax的錯誤訊息解決之方發現有bad sector出現時MAXTOR大多建議執
行Write Disk Pack(low level format)以便清除壞軌但個人上次用low level format解決友人問
題時是因他HDD已過保固方姑且一試的..

謝謝ericlien指教！
若能不動資料而修復壞軌最好，否則除了再買一顆硬碟外，80G的資料根本無法備份。
還有MAXTOR網站看不懂說些什麼。

PowerMax Error Codes - What does it mean?

Description
This document describes Maxtor's PowerMax diagnostic / error codes and the action a user should take when a failure condition is encountered.

Note: Do not run PowerMax from within a GUI environment (ie from a Windows desktop window), as this can make the test results inaccurate. Please remove any other hard drives you might have in your system which you don't want to test and overwrite.

Answer
When the PowerMax diagnostic is executed and encounters a failure condition during testing, it will display a six or three digit alphanumeric diagnostic code. The six digit validation codes were added to the program for end-user warranty replacement purposes only.

Users with Six Digit Error Codes:
If you receive a six digit error code with an S57 at the end (xxxS57), it is recommended that you run the Write Disk Pack (Low-Level Format) option from the PowerMax utility.
Warning: The write disk pack option will erase all data on the drive, so please backup all your data before choosing this option.

Note: When running the 90-second quick test, we have found that the S57 error code may display even if there is no actual failure within the drive. This is a problem with the PowerMax diagnostic software and is currently being investigated for a future fix. If the Write Disk Pack option (low-level format) is executed successfully, and the error code with S57 still appears after re-running PowerMax, then the code is valid and the drive should be replaced.


If you receive a six digit error code with an MX1 (xxxMX1) at the end, this means that either the drive is not supported by PowerMax or you should try testing the drive on another IDE/ATA bus.


All other six digit error codes indicate that the drive should be replaced. The PowerMax diagnostic will typically provide a short description regarding the test that failed. However, there are no "user-serviceable" or field replaceable parts on the hard drive. Therefore all drives with a valid six digit code should be replaced.

For information on warranty status and drive replacement (RMA) please visit our
Warranty Information Page



Users with Three Digit Error codes:

Three digit error codes refer to issues other than the drive. Please refer to the table below. Error Code Action
004* Cabling/Jumper Configuration Problems
005* BIOS doesn't support capacity and/or LBA not enabled in BIOS.
006* No Partition Detected
008* Testing a Non-Maxtor/Quantum Drive

太棒嚕~~這麼棒的資料要趕快蒐集起來

真是感謝您的辛苦蒐集∼∼∼非常非常地實用喔！！！
