this machine is a mess kept frezzing trying to run surface scan (bad clusters) Welll duhhhh. To quote from ye olde Tips for Mercinaries: "A sucking chest wound in nature's way of telling you you are going to DIE". I think I was able to to successfully run through scan disc It's a dying hard drive. How "successful" do you expect Scandisk to be? http://cquirke.mvps.org/pccrisis.htm refers. Here is clue you need to get: Bad sectors means the hard drive is physically dying, and will take your data with it. It cannot be lipsticked back to life by hiding the sectors that are currently detectable as bad. Replace the hard drive. ---------- ----- ---- --- -- - - - - Gone to bloggery: http://cquirke.blogspot.com ---------- ----- ---- --- -- - - - - |
