linderman - I love your sig. I recently became aware of BIOS flashing in Windows. I didn't like the "feel" of the idea either. Good to know I should stick to DOS or whatever else to do it. I see now BIOS have a built-in flashing utility too, which I'm sure is the best method.

Thanks for your info. I have never dusted this laptop and I figured I needed to now that all this is going on.

I reran chkdsk c: /f/r/x and it is still showing 4kb bad sectors, but at least this time the command completed and whatever it needed to do to the file system to mark everything off is done. I'll run HDD regen tonight when I go to bed and see what it does.
