Disk failure is imminent chkdsk ok

Chkdsk checks the filesystem, not the hard drive itself. If Windows says that the hard drive is about to fail you can get a second opinion by using a program such as "Crystal Disk Info"

Thank you. I ran the test and it confirmed that the drive is severly overheating and in danger of failing. Apparently this is not uncommon for Seagate 1.5 TBs even if only just out of warrenty at 1 year.
