Win7Pro "Windows detected a hard disk problem"
New to Win7Pro. I just got a "windows detected a hard disk problem" message. I clciked show details and it says the following hard disk is reporting failure and it lists my E drive, which is a second drive I put in to keep files on. It is basically a new drive and it doesn't get used much. I don't think it is failing, but how can I verify?

Now I got hddscan to work. Here is a pdf E--Temporary-HDDScan-3.3-HDDScan.pdf E--Temporary-HDDScan-3.3-HDDScan.pdf E--Temporary-HDDScan-3.3-HDDScan.pdf
If you click on the download link of the UBCD, you get a list of mirrors which host the CD. Those with the green status should be available. Just select one of those mirrors, like securityworks.net, and then click on the Download and the download should start.
According to the pdf's you posted, it is a smart error that has happened. That means the disk is about to fail and you should start taking measures to replace it.

I also went tothe ultimatebootcd site. I cannot seem to figure out where the download link is for UBCD. Every download link seems to be some other freeware, not UBCD.
Sorry for the need for more input. Can you help me figure out what I am not getting?
