PC Checkup - Smart Short Self Test times out

 

I have a Inspiron 530 desktop computer, a couple of years old, e/windows vista and IE 8.

When I run the PC Checkup, Everything passes except the Smart Short Self Test and it times out everytime.  WHY?  Any suggestions as to what the problem might be.

    Hi Joyce,

    Do you think there is a problem with your hard drive? If so, I'd suggest running the Dell diagnostics on your drive. This leaves the operating system completely out of the equation.

    I don't know what it is or if anything is wrong , I just wanted to find out before something happens to it.  Where do I go to run the Dell Diagnostics on the drive.
