    Get into the drive bay and see if you can identify the manufacturer of the HDD, I doubt it's actually an HP drive

    OK its a Seagate drive. Now to try and find a bootable seagate diagnostics. Is that what I should search for because its not bringing up many results? I've found one on the seagate site but has to be installed from within OS so no good to me.
    This is my signature. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
