How much unknown damage can be done to a harddrive???
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.)

Re: How much unknown damage can be done to a harddrive???
I don't think that there will be any damage. Maybe - some lost files, that will be found by checkdisk on next boot (or run scandisk manually). But, if it was hung up - maybe even there won't be any lost files.
By "lost files" - i don't mean that you will lose any data on your HDD. No! I mean some useless temp files, etc... So, don't worry, be happy :-) Just check your disk with windows ScanDisk |
