Today, my PC froze and I had to turn off the PC manually before properly powering it down. I'm wondering how much damage this can cause to my harddrive. I'm just afraid that there will be some sort of delayed damage (i.e. harddrive crashing or mysterious data loss a few weeks from now because it was corrupted by me having to shut the PC down the wrong way.)
