Ok. I did all that but what stands out is the cloned disk testing with SeaTools reports:
Short Self Test Passed
Long Generic Test Aborted
Long Self Test Aborted
Summary: I can't tell if this disk is ok. BTW, if you don't have time for this, that's fine. I'm learning here, not recovering important data.
The Long Generic passes on a couple other disks, all are passing the Short Self Test (even the clone) so I'm thinking SeaTools isn't faulty. Thus, I'm not sure since "aborted" isn't specific but I don't have high confidence in this drive any more. I was using it as my C drive 4 years ago, cloned it and kept it around just referring to old files until now. I see to be able to read random files fine, never got a message of a disk error, so... idk. Toshiba (the manufacturer) doesn't provide diagnostic SW for consumer drives. I thought perhaps somethings just not supported with Toshiba drives?
For example, I just computed an md5 hash on each of 6000 files (total, 2 GB, in about a minute) on this drive, and verified them so it.... "mostly works",
And chkdsk is ok:

This drives clone is just kind of a test, a learning experience and nothing I need so I'm not sure how to proceed. Format and test? How? It's cheap to replace.
