Hello Thomas,

To be honest if you have the slightest suspicion you have a hard disk problem I would get any data backed up on an external hard disk if its a laptop or on a spare interface/HD if its the desktop. Quite often various ways of dying hard disks can be detected but they vary in their symptoms. Are you having any other problems pointing to a failing interface or hard disk? System hanging, crashing and is defrag working ok??? -- Best regards, tracer mailto:0tra...@gmail.com ________________________________________________ Current version is 4.2.9.1 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
