Bad hard disk issue - not online

Post by Chrisax »

I had the bad surprise to see my computer freezing on Windows desktop display at boot.

It took me hours and hours to figure out that the reason was probably a few bad clusters on the HD although the clusters don't seem to be related to a file used upon boot. (Most of then were related to Windows system backup files and one on disk D to a data file without importance.) So it looks really strange and I'm not sure that they were the cause for my issues; maybe I just fixed something else without knowing.

Anyhow I couldn't be online tonight. Sorry. :(

If you don't see me online soon, then you'll know why: some computer troubles again likely.

I'm going to take some time to check all my backups and do some more: I have all AP and AO related stuff on this computer... I don't want to lose anything.
