It found bad sectors and 'repaired' them, then the disk passed the test. After the second failure Seatools found more bad sectors. I have to assume it's the disk. It is less than 3 months old. However I didn't register it so the default warranty ends in Nov. Good thing I keep receipts. Thanks for you help.
