Hard Drive Failures
Help! I have a Compaq PC (i kno don't laugh) that is 4.5 years old.
I have had to replace the HD countless times. The last time I purchased an 80GB Maxtor HD. Now the system is telling me it is about to fail. I have had some other issues with the system lately, too, but it all comes down to the same problem... the system just locks up, period. Recently I noticed during a restart a message flashed against the black screen saying something was not working correctly, but it was there and gone so quickly I couldn't read it. I am getting the info about the HD failing from the Event Viewer -- Systems log. I have no idea where to begin. Please let me know what data you need from me about my setup and I will post it. Does anyone have any idea what's going on? Thanks in advance |
