windows warning hard disk problem
Hi all
Yesterday and today I'm constantly getting warnings from windows, that it detected a problem and suggested to backup my hard drive.
I currecntly have 2 drives. the c:/ is where windows resides (60gb ssd drive).
The second one is an older (3 years old) from my old computer where my programs reside. It is this latter one D:/ (500gb seagate barracuda) where windows is telling me to backup.
I just installed another WD 500GB black (also about 3 years old) so I could backup the D: drive.
The computer is running fine. Is windows accurate in being able to find hard disk problems before they become an issue?
I'm afraid that if I take out the drive and send it back to seagate they might not find anything wrong with it.
Is there a way to test and fix it with software? if so what are your suggestions.
Thanks so much!
Jake
