scandisk want to run a surface scan at almost every boot by
J
Friday Morn
During bootup scandisk informs me of need to run a thorough suface scan.
I sometimes let it do this: takes nearly 3 hours.
And after a couple of boots, it wants to do it again.
Nothing is wrong with the drives.

Joey
After reading a zip disk the properties function always
displays the initial disks capacity even though you have
an empty disk in the drive. The Microsoft Backup program
thinks the disk is full and will not write to it. Is there
a fix?

Brad
Hi "Lil' Dave",
HDDs have many vulnerabilities, therefore I would not trust them for
keeping important files or OS backup. The heads are only microns from the
surface of the spinning platters. A sudden jolt could cause the head to
bounce off the platter surface, or if "writing", overwrite data...

My CDR and CDRW used to work fine. Neither can be accessed
now - all I get is a message saying " not

This has been a gradual process, certainly as far as the
