Hard Drive Failing?
I was just hoping somebody could tell some tell-tale signs if a hard drive is failing. Mine has been taking what seems like an increasing amount of time to load things and st st stuttering a lot in games. Just looking for a general idea of things to look for. Also i just installed Vista maybe just bugs in new OS comin through.
Thanks, Jarrod |

Re: Hard Drive Failing?
Blackduck has given you a nice course of action. Defragging is also a good idea. If you want the manufacturer's diagnostic, then look under my signature area for the link.
Post back with questions/concerns.
