It is the case that your hard disk may have started failing (and will fail soon) due to old age or some reason but works properly as of now. Check for that first using smartmontools or palimpset-gtk (disk utility). If that is the case it is a early warning and you can back up all your data and buy a new one (This is what my hard disk condition - I have backed up all data and waiting for it to die). Getting informed is not a bad thing this is really a good thing. _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
