Seagate Fix All Option Saved Hard Disk From Crashing

Exploring Seagate tools for Windows saved my Hard Drive from crashing and loosing all the data(though it backed it up).About last 15 days I was concerned with My Seagate Hard Drive Model: ST3500418AS, Seagate tools Basic Tests reported ShortDST-Fail error on my Hard Drive.Following is the part of the Error log.

Short DST - Started 5/9/2012 4:29:05 PM
Short DST - FAIL 5/9/2012 4:30:21 PM
SeaTools Test Code: A1E1CEEA
Short Generic - Started 5/9/2012 5:56:32 PM
Short Generic - Pass 5/9/2012 5:57:55 PM
Short DST - Started 5/9/2012 5:59:07 PM
Short DST - FAIL 5/9/2012 5:59:22 PM

Short DST - Started 5/9/2012 6:25:14 PM
Short DST - FAIL 5/9/2012 6:25:29 PM
SeaTools Test Code: A1E1CEEA

Further, Seagate asked to run SeaToolsDOS223ALL(Seatools for DOS) which might fix the bad sectors on the drives or asked to return the disk to get a new replacement disk.Thought of giving (Seatools for DOS) a shot, burned the ISO image and started sea tools for windows through DOS, after My drive got detected , I am unable select the drive and perform the tests, Seatools For Dos, just hanged on me and unable to perform any actions and i thought of returning the drive for replacement 




Today morning, just before publishing this post, I had a Self test of the Drive again through Seatools For Windows, ShortDST Failed Again, I saw a option Called Fix All Fast, Fix All Long Option and went through Fix All Short, the Fix All Was successful! Curiously went and ran the Short DST again, Voila..Its unbelievable the Short DST Passed this time , I think the Seagate Fix All Option Fixed all the Bad sectors on My drive and saved the drive from crashing.

Fix All Fast - Pass 5/28/2012 8:51:17 AM
Short DST - Started 5/28/2012 8:53:56 AM
Short DST - Pass 5/28/2012 8:54:58 AM
Short Generic - Started 5/28/2012 8:55:36 AM
Short Generic - Pass 5/28/2012 8:56:59 AM
Short DST - Started 5/28/2012 8:59:13 AM
Short DST - Pass 5/28/2012 9:00:14 AM


I Used the version Sea Tools for Windows version 1.2.0.6, Model: ST3500418AS, Firmware Updated to CC49.

Hope you run the Fix All Fast, Fix All Long Options through seagate windows tolls if run through test drive failures.

APC BR1100CI-IN Back-UPS User Review

To the users who are in hunt of Back Up UPS, I recommend APC BR1100CI-IN. As my microtek 800 VA lasted for only few months, I had to upgrade my UPS and in a hunt, I was tossing between Numeric and APC, after a thorough study went and bought APC BR1100, and it was amazing UPS for Home and Small office users.Bought it for around 5300K

Technical Details:-

Getting into technical details, APC BR1100CI-IN has a Output Power Capacity 660 Watts, which means it supports 660 watts capacity. you can connect your CPU, Monitor, Modems and other essential devices which you would like them to be backed up on power failures.APC BR1100CI-IN is a 1100VA(1.1KVA) Back-Up UPS.

At the Back, APC BR1100CI-IN has an option to connect 5 Devices out of which three will be battery backed up and to of them acts a surge protector.At Font there is a LED status display with "On Line" and "Replace Battery" illumination. Click here for more Technical specification of APC BR1100CI-IN

(2) India 2/3-pin 6A (Surge Protection)- Your Lap Top, Audio System
(3) India 2/3-pin 6A (Battery Backup)- Your CPU, Monitor, Modems

Battery Backup And Experience:

After getting the unit charged for almost 18 hours which is recommended during first use, I almost got a back up of 45 minutes with 90% of the load, which is way beyond the claimed back up time by APC, that was amazing. On another day, I was just using my LED monitor(28w) and a modem of (15W), I got a back up of around 2.6 hours, this moment i felt its true value for money. The typical recharge time of the battery is 10+ hours when in offline mode.

APC BR1100CI-IN has got a good low audible beep when on battery which does not irritate you like Microtek.Good looking design and color.So far so good.! Additionally, BR1100 comes with 2 years repair or replace standard warranty, no need to carry your UPS and run around the service center, just give a call, the engineer will be at your door step for service. APCRBC113 is the Replacement Battery Part number for BR1100

The Fan noise of this unit is slightly noticeable when everything is quite.Apart from the noise its a perfect UPS for Home and Small Office usage.
I feel APC India is making a steady , stable and remarkable presence in the market.Discuss more about the post through the below comments section.

Vespa LX 125 India Picture Gallery And User Review

As the News is out, Vespa LX 125 Was Launched Few Days ago for a Ex-Showroom Price of Rs 66661 under the brand name Piaggio.Just to give a background of the company "Piaggio invented the Vespa in 1946 and later pioneered the apé, the three-wheeler in 1947. PVPL commenced its India operations in 1999 with the launch of Apé, which became India's favorite three-wheeler brand in a short span of time. Apé vehicles are engineered for higher fuel efficiency, rugged performance and outstanding load carrying capability. Living up to Piaggio's core philosophy, all PVPL vehicles conform to the most stringent quality and environmental standards and offer extraordinary value for money."

 

When i walked into the showroom My first Impression on Vespa LX 125  was amazing! A New-Age Retro Design, Vespa of Italy Now In India, an Italian classic.I truly enjoyed playing  Ahista Ahista Song repeatedly number of times just to stare at the bike , Its a Vespa which Ranbir Kapoor was riding on.



Now Getting into the details of my Test Drive of  Vespa LX 125,  When it Comes to Design and Styling I rate 5 out of  5, the design is sleek and got a retro stylish look. The Best Part of Vespa LX 125 is, it has got 125 CC Engine and metal body all around with chrome lining.I can say that it reached the expectations but not exceeded the expectations in terms of drive quality, the Engine noise was loud enough when compared to other bikes in this segment, May be due to 3 Valve engine?


Following are the Photos of Vespa LX 125 Indian Version, click on the Below Pictures to have a bigger view.












Vespa LX 125 is Available in Following Six colors

  • Bonte Bianco
  • Nero Volcano
  • Giallo Lime
  • Rosso Dragon
  • Rosso Chianti
  • Midnight Blue

More info on Specifications, Features, you can visit Official Website of  Vespaindia.com
The Mileage of Vespa turns out to be 50 KMPL, Quoted by sales representative, I expect it to be some where around 45+ and a On road Price of  Rs 79,000 Indian rupees
