It sounds as if the SMART measurements on
your Seagate 320GB hard drive are triggering the Windows message advising that
the drive is failing.
You would be best advised to backup your data from this drive to a different
drive or on to DVD media (depending on how much data is involved).
To test the failing Seagate disk, download a copy of Hiren's Boot CD which is a CD image
file (.ISO) and must be burnt to a blank CD disc - then boot the computer with the
failing disk from this CD - then select DOS Programs on the initial menu, then
choose Hard Disk Tools and then HDAT2 - this is a tool which will let you try
to recover any bad sectors on your boot disk.
On the Hard Disk Tools menu there is also a SMARTUDM - HDD S.M.A.R.T. viewer
which will let you examine exactly which areas of the Seagate disk are giving
the problem leading to the failure message.
If you just added the disk to the PC, you need to prepare and format it before Windows will see it.
Options:
Download the "Seagate Seatools" from the Seagate website to prepare the disk
or
Type "Disk Management" in the search box and select the "Create and Format hard disk partitions". You should see the new disk in the list. Select the UNFORMATTED area, and create the partition and format it.
The Seagate program is a much easier option...
