Event viewer - cool. Never knew that was there! ;D
I guess the bunches of red crosses all together are what I am looking for?
When opened they all say the same: Event Type: Error, Event Source: Disk - Event Category: None - Event ID: 7
Description: The device, \Device\Harddisk5\D, has a bad block.
Data:

Chris:
This may not help (best ask the guys above first) and I have no idea what the above means, but have you tried a System Restore back to a point when everything was running well? I tend to have to do that from time to time.
Start>all programmes>accessories> system tools>system restore and then choose a date when you know it was running fine
EDIT just checked my event viewer and there were only about 3 error messages going back over a 4 month period.
But reading the above it seems to be something bigger :)
Boris:
Manny,
It's time to get rid of the Commodore 64. :laugh:
You've got a bad hard drive. Back up the info that you want to keep on a thumb drive. Go get a new hard drive and the reinstall your OS, apps and data. It may be cheaper, and less painful, just to go out and get a new computer.

Markje:
I agree totally with Boris about the hard drive. That screenshot leaves no mystery :8)
Also, bad blocks on a hard drive are like viruses. They multiply more quickly when they become more in numbers.

Yep exactly what I had with my hard drive :scared0005:
and the log looks so similar :(
Get a mass storage device or a back up hard drive and get the stuff off the old one now
i lost lots of photos and documents when mine went down :(
Will never not back up again!!! :party0011:
