SMART Tests Failed
After running a hard drive testing script I've gotten 2 error messages I can't find any info on. Specifically, the SMART Conveyance Test and SMART Short Self Test failed with the message "Canceled by device". I should mentioned that the script I'm running executes the SMART tests more than one an on subsequent "rounds" the test passes. Any idea why the device would cancel a test?

Re: SMART Tests Failed
mchtower,
These tests would be canceled in windows if the device had other tasks to do, If there are programs in the background that do DISK I/O this could cause it.
Stop all other programs or retest in DOS to be sure.
