I did an extended scan and here are the results:
Test Option: EXTENDED TEST
Model Number: WDC WD20EARS-00MVWB0
Unit Serial Number: WD-WCAZA1308286
Firmware Number: 51.0AB51
Capacity: 2000.40 GB
SMART Status: PASS Test
Result: FAIL Test Error Code: 08-
Test Time: 20:33:44, January 11, 2011
System Info:
XP PRO SP3 X86 32bit
MSI MS-7309
AMD Athlon II X2 240 2.81 GHz
2GB RAM
ASUS EAH5450 1GB RAM
Primary HDD: WDC WD3200AAKS-00V1A0 (SATA)
Secondary HDD: WDC WD500AAKB-00H8A0 (SATA)
External HDD: WDC WD20EARS-00MVWB0 (USB)
What should I do, back up my files from the USB external to my C: & F: and do an extended test again and click fix it after it scans even though it took over 18 hours and use the fix option? I didn’t try the fix option cos I’m using the external to back up my videos and didn’t want to risk losing any of them.
Edit
I downloaded CrystalDiskInfo and this is what it says:
