Hey guys, I was running a long test on a drive that installing windows would not work on. I had a long test running for 30 minutes and 10 seconds when I get an error code: E0A4CD50
Also in the test info box, it says "Long test timed out!"
I'm not sure if that's a drive failure or I just messed up the test or something, though, because "timed out" doesn't really sound like a failure. The thing is, there is no explanation for this error code at all, on seagates error code page, it doesn't even list the code.
I actually tried installing windows on an ST500DM001 as well, it failed on that one as well, I have yet to long test it, but I find it unlikely that I was shipped two brand new DOAs. The fact that the windows installation failed on that drive as well, I am led to believe that this is not the problem.
