Hi:

 

You are missing a character from the first set of characters.

 

The code is four sets of 6 characters.

 

Generally if you can't get into Windows and the drive fails the DST, it needs to be replaced with a new one.

Thanks,  I ran the test again. The machine even locked up on the "welcome" screen. I took it back to the repair shop to have  the hard drive replaced.
