Testing for bad sectors

I've left this web page up because there were hardware problems found with a disk in your machine. I'm testing now to see if it's fixable or if we need to buy another drive.

Please let me know when you see Stage 5 done and a blinking cursor waiting for you to type more. 

Feel free to continue using your computer in the mean time. Don't disconnect power/move around any external HDD's while this is in progress.

Thanks!
