Please do the following:

GSmartControl
Follow the instructions below to check your SMART status with GSmartControl:

• Download the portable version of GSmartControl and save it on your Desktop;
• Extract the zip file to your Desktop. Open the folder gsmartcontrol-1.1.3-win64 which should be located on your Desktop and double-click gsmartcontrol.exe to launch the program.
• Identify your drive in the list (if recognized by the tool), and hover your mouse over it.
• You should see something called: SMART status. It will either read: Enabled, in which case you should do the following:
• Double-click on it to bring up its window (usually you'll find your drive by its size or its brand name);
• Go to the Self-Tests tab, then select Extended Self-test in the Test type drop-down list and click on Execute (this test can take a few hours to complete);
• Once the test is over, the results will be displayed at the bottom of the window. Please copy and paste these results in your next reply or take a screenshot;
• Also, go in the Attributes tab and if you have any entries highlighted in red or pink, take a screenshot of the GSmartControl window and attach it in your next reply;
• Please note: If the SMART Status reads: Unsupported, stop and let me know.

This took no time at all. Not sure why it was so quick. But based on the results looks like I may be in need of replacing my HDD drive.

 

[Sysnative Windows Update]

Yes. Please manually copy the data over and replace the drive.

 

[whitegoat]

Thank you for your help. Do you have any opinion's on the best method to replace? I would be changing out the HDD on my toshiba laptop. I know windows has the Windows easy transfer tool that back up to an external HDD, or is there a better tool to perform that function.

 

[Sysnative Windows Update]

I would recommend manual copy paste method as the damaged drive cannot be reliably cloned due to the damage that has already been done to the machine.
