SSD corruption testing software

J-FRO · 2 Jun 2012 at 20:33

Does anybody know of any or recommend anything to use?

I've had a BOOTMGR error and I managed to get around it by just going back in my bios and changing the boot order again. But a similar thing happened a couple of weeks back as well, but at that time it was NTLDR and that was rectified too by changing the boot sequence.

So because of these errors, I fear I may have a corrupt SSD. Lemme know what you think chaps.

Reads more like a BIOS issue rather than an SSD issue to me.

Hmm I did read somewhere that it could be that. Maybe I should try updating my bios?

What firmware on your Agility 3? 2.15 sorts the issue you have. (in most cases i hasten to add

) Sounds like your Windows boot manager is on a hdd, the agility is not being detected on first boot from cold and on a reboot its being detected as a new device, hence the boot order being changed.

According to SSDLife pro I'm using 2.11, is that easy to update? Would I need to completely wipe the drive to do that?

Apparently 2.22 is out. If you want to do it in windows, it can't be the OS drive.

Bootdisk with FW tools.

Think i'll give the bootdisk method a whack in a bit. Cheers Justin!
