I am a little confused as to where I find the file, so I have attached what I think is the TXT file that was made when I saved the scan on step 3. If this is not what you are looking for please give me instructions on how to get the .TXT file. Sent from Mail for Windows 10

Yes I do, I emailed you about a month ago but you never replied. Maybe it didn’t go threw but I am sure it was sent. I am pretty sure I have been doing this correctly after reading those clear instructions. Here is the TXT file. If I am still doing it incorrectly than it is either a glitch or I am missing something. If this isn’t it should I submit the generated results to the costumer support sight.

Hello QRoth, Thank you for your response. In this case, SMART events is a HDD or SSD feature combined with motherboard BIOS. This will report any Hdd issues or failure and if you have RST installed, all reporting will be handled by this tool. We strongly recommend you to run the diagnostic tools your system drive manufacturer. If the drives are on RAID mode, they need to reset drives to Non Raid and run diagnostics. They do not read volumes, that is why they need to be removed from Raid mode. As shared before we have not received the information requested from previous posts, if it is necessary after the information that we just shared, please feel free to try to submit it again. I hope this helps. Diego S. Intel (R) Customer Support Technician Under Contract to Intel (R) Corporation

Thanks for the new information, could you go more in depth on how to run the diagnostic tools and where to fine them. Regarding the txt. File, is a file showing up and it’s just the wrong file or is no file being sent at all. Thank you for your time and I hope to hear from you soon. Sent from Mail for Windows 10

Hello QRoth, Thank you for your response. In this case, the tools in order to run the test on the drives will be provided by your drive manufacturer. Depending on the manufacturer, the tool might change. We strongly recommend you to contact the manufacturer of your devices in order to get the right tool. I hope this helps. Diego Sanchez Campos.
