Is it safe to assume that the 2.5" HDD (1.3GB) has failed when it goes through 3 hours of trying to recover clusters during format?
I used fdisk to remove and create a new logical DOS drive and scandisk. Scandisk reported nothing out of the ordinary.
Neither helped.
I can not seem to obtain Toshiba hard disk drive testing utilities anywhere, they do not even seem to support the Satellite 210CT anymore - would anyone know where to obtain such software?
