Error in WD Data Lifeguard Diagnostics

[herrad]

Me again.

I tried performing the WD Data Lifeguard Diagnostics, and i received this eror message

Quick test on drive 2 not complete!

Status code=7 (failed read test element), Failure checkpoint = 97 (unknown test)

Smart self-test did not complete on drive 2!

I tried to check for errors with windows utility. It says that it will start after i restart windows. I do so, but... it doesn't start...

Your drive is failing - get it replaced. If it's under warranty follow the link below:
