[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1439169, member: 38864"] I agree with harry... that hard drive sounds like it's failing. Did you even read my link to tips on testing your hard drive? I go into quite a bit detail, including a very specific recommendation to try SMART Utility, which is a piece of software that does a more thorough analysis of SMART data than other typical SMART tools. It's not free but has a free trial so you may as well take advantage of it. Hoping blindly that it will hold up after applying a bandaid fix to the file system won't help much if/when it finally fails and you aren't prepared. [/QUOTE]
