Disk Issue Possible Failure?

[Twist86]

So I booted up my PC this morning and I got a "Hard Disk Error Please Insert Disk"
Something along those lines...I didn't care as I only got a few hours of sleep...anyways when I woke up I started to worry.

The error message happened right after BIOS screen but before Windows boot up. I powered down and back on and have yet to see the issue again.


Now I booted up HD Tune and I see this "warning"
Relocated Sector Count 3


Health Status is on warning...this drive about to take a dump on me? Real shame too because this drive was doing so well too



*edit*
Seagate Tools is showing everything is green strange. Running long tests now though.


*edit*
Just installed free HDtune and I get this


How is the trial a "warning" yet the basic happy and ok????


*edit*

Less than 4,000 hours on it too. Unusually early failure. Send it in for warranty repair. Surely you haven't had it three years yet.

Will Seagate even take it back? I mean it passes seatools tests.

That's a good question. On their website it states that a drive is "probably good" if it passes SeaTools testing. Though if you're getting sectors flagged as bad...? You can call at 1 800 SEAGATE for warranty inquiries.
