[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1670740, member: 131855"] There is a distinct possibility / probability that the hard drive is dying. The permissions issues might or might not be playing a part in this but right now it's the dying drive that's most important. There's no way to predict exactly when the drive will fail. Your best course going forward is to do the following: 1. Backup anything important and keep the backup current. 2. Purchase a new hard drive. [/QUOTE]
