Oddly enough seagate diagnostics still don't want to go through yet, as it says that it had encountered 20 bad sectors and would just quit the scanning. So at the moment i'm running windows error-checking. Before when i ran either option of error checking it would not go through. But thanks to the chkdsk it had repaired some lost files and allocated them to a folder called "found.000" also the external hard drive is a bit faster than it had been before.

Before it was nothing but a slow crawl and right clicking a folder and asking for the properties literally took 3-4 minutes to show up. So after i'm done with the error-checking i'll run the seagate utilities.

Also i'm performing all these scans from the laptop. The PC is still acting kinda funny. Maybe i should reinstall the USB drivers. Also the USB ports are 1.1
