Re: a strange issue with my C drive
Well, one thing I forgot to mention was that because of a mysterious driver conflict that kept me from using the PC unless it was in safe mode, I actually did reformat this thing less than a year ago. I also noticed that small files such as midi and text files do have a noticeable lag when loading from the C drive vs. an external. I don't get it.
I just ran disc check on the drive and told it to fix file system errors, and the issue still persists. I didn't scan for bad sectors yet because that is the part which takes ages. I'm still hoping it's a simple thing gone wrong that can be easily fixed, but I'm really losing patience. I wish there was some definitive way to tell if the hard drive was really failing. If I knew it was, it would put me more at ease.
I'm now backing up my most important data, and resuming my efforts to get a more powerful PC. I have some money saved up I could put towards it, and summer break is soon coming so I can in
vest more time into it. In any case, I'm still going to try to make this thing more tolerable to use for a little while until I get a new machine.
