I did not notice that it was written to partition "/dev/sda1", because I didn't expect this test to only be written to a partition instead of test writing to the whole disk. I have not noticed this detail in the answer when replying to it, shame on me. My recommendation was to use the command like this: sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/WritingToThisDisk bs=8M status=progress Long Wind, the test works only if you overwrite the full disk. So, as Gene pointed out, after the test which you did by now it cannot be concluded what I concluded in my former answer! We by now only know that writing to the 14 GB of partition "/dev/sda1" worked correctly, but we do not know where on the disk this 14 GB are actually located and we also still do not know about the rest of the disk and if it continues to work fine also for a bigger data load occupying the electronics for longer time. So, if you are interested to still know about your old drive, although you said that you already installed successfully to a new drive, then you may want to direct the test all the device and not only a partition of it. Best regards, Marco. Thank Marco! i can't do test on whole disk because i have useful files in other partitions. smartctl report gives me some confidence in the problem disk. i've installed buster to the problem disk and am using it now to write this mail. i can backup files in problem disk if they r important. below is layout of problem disk reported by fdisk: Disk /dev/sda: 298.1 GiB, 320072933376 bytes, 625142448 sectors Disk model: ST3320311CS Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disklabel type: dos Disk identifier: 0x059a302a Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type /dev/sda1 * 1606500 29768444 28161945 13.4G 83 Linux /dev/sda2 92164905 215047779 122882875 58.6G 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT /dev/sda3 215048192 625137663 410089472 195.6G 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT /dev/sda4 29768445 89305334 59536890 28.4G 83 Linux Partition table entries are not in disk order.
