That is a vintage computer.  But, I would expect it to work with the
Seagate ST3320311CS; if both are in proper working order.

Test the Seagate ST3320311CS using the ThinkCentre and Seagate SeaTools
Bootable.

it has only exe file, no iso file, you need Windows

and i have little reason to do more test. it has passed short and long tests by smart and badblocks tests. i've removed it from hp to thinkcentre, and easily created FS. its problem with hp won't be solved by tool from seagate. i'll just use it in thinkcentre.

Thank Reco for educational post on bad sector!
i've just read it and found it instructive.
