blue screen of death- Disk Write error
Sounds very much as if your hard disk has failed or is failing especially
since you hear clicking as well. Have you tried booting to DOS using a Win Me boot floppy and running CHKDSK and SCANDISK? -- Mike Maltby casino14 wrote: unable to write to disk in drive c data or files may be lost Any ideas i have an emachine. computer freezes and then it will go to blue screen with this error. have to manually shut of at the wall by turning off power strip.also have been running out of disk space again. cannot even run scan disk or defrag. machine runs quietly then it wil go click click a few times then if its not in use it will do the blue screen could my hard drive be going out and causing this, or any ideas at what is causing this. i am very tech challenged as far this stuf goes so need some easy to follow instructions if anybody can help. thanks so much casino14 |

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?
