[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1329992, member: 46727"] It does sound like your hard drive may be failing and needs to be replaced. Erasing the disk, reformatting, and reinstalling is not likely to be of any help if the hard drive is at fault. Yes, you will lose all that software. However: Since you do not have the original disks and accompanying license for any of the software you mentioned, they're not legal anyway. Purchasing legal copies of the above or download an equivalent free version (LibreOffice, Open Office and so forth) is what you should do. [/QUOTE]
