Manny:
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.

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.

sparky114:
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:
