Possible Hard Drive Failure?
Hello to All,
You may remember a problem I had assisting my cousin get his laptop running. He actually went and got a WD backup drive. He has been running good. Has a tendency to overdue the AV scans, Malware Scans and CCleaner Scans. Anyway, he booted yesterday and a timed to start on "Boot Normally" with safe mode and safe mode with network etc: screen came up. He advised he got logged on and ran everything for anything with no luck. Every time he reboots ( 2-3 times ) it came up as described. I had him do a chkdsk. When it finished it booted normally and has several times since. Since this is the condition the computer was in prior to me helping him a month ago, I thought as a minor leaguer, that I'd inquire with the forum members. Is it possible his toshiba laptop which originally ran Vista, he got it dumped for W7 Home Premium, has the 160 GB Hard drive beginning to croak. Or am I missing something. Thanks for any assistance.
