    windows detected a hard disk problem. Please help!


    Hello Everyone,

    I Have been on my PC for a few hours today and i got a windows message saying 'windows detected a hard disk problem'.

    Do I need to replace my hard disk right away? or is there anyway that can fix this problem? I'm using windows 7 64bit (Home Premium)

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance

    I would create a backup, and then move this backup onto a different hard-drive (external would be better) or a USB flash drive.

    Go to Start > Computer > Right-Click the hard-drive with the problem > Properties > Tools tab > Error-Checking

    Windows will then check for any hard-drive problems, and then try and repair these problems if possible.

    Hope this helps,

    Harry
