I was running a program to test drive fitness. But I seem to be
having problems. Has anyone any other suggestions of utilities to test
a hard drive?

I think I may have to try booting Windows again. But I fear it may
take at least 24 hours to complete ScanDisk. And if I avoid such
things, it will likely tell me again about General access failure.
There had been a bunch of problems found in various clusters. But
I thought it was set to fix most of these.

It had just been booted to Windows. But various of the icons that
normally appear at bottom were not there. So I thought I should
reboot. So there, been kicked to a lower rung. It seems like there is
still enough capability to run Windows, or at least get it up and
running. But also means to encounter certain problems that will stifle
the initial boot up and get things going. Sorry to write at night.
