Go to the hard disk manufacturer's web site and download their diagnostic software
respective to your hard disk. After the test, you will know if the hard disk is bad or
not..

Either you can open the chassis and read the infor off the hardware or it may be listed in
the BIOS settings of the platform.

If you are unable to ascertain the above then I suggesst taking it into a reputable service
centre.

Default blue screen of death- Disk Write error

Looks like you'll have to open the case and read the label on the HD

WRT the 'disappearing HD space', it could be a number of things - are you
using GoBack? any Norton software??
Perhaps you have something fighting with System Restore for control of a
file - is your anti-virus up-to-date and functional?

First priority is to check out that HD - and BACK UP YOUR DATA!

How about "aida32.exe" or "Everest Home Edition", Noel?
I still use it, but don't know whether it can be obtained yet, but there you
would get all the information needed, wouldn't you?

Harry.
