Dunno. Run those tests first.
Here we are. Short test completed without error whereas the long one shows a read failure error.
The long one on recent makes does asurface test.

Ok, try to learn where that LBA=38168578 is, I mean, which partition, and overwrite it fully with dd: this triggers sector remapping. First, backup it completely to another disk (file by file, with rsync). Then, run the test again. Finally, copy files back. Drives have a region allocated to remap bad sectors. When trying to write to a bad sector, it is transparently reallocated to a new one in the manufacturer reserved region: Vendor Specific SMART Attributes with Thresholds: ID# ATTRIBUTE_NAME FLAG VALUE WORST THRESH TYPE UPDATED WHEN_FAILED RAW_VALUE 5 Reallocated_Sector_Ct 0x0033 095 095 005 Pre-fail Always - 0 You can also use the manufacturer provided test utility. These usually come as a boot floppy or CD that runs roughly the same spart tests under cpu control so that you can learn verbosely what is wrong. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
