HDD errors
Have been having problems with my Toshiba laptop -Sat L550 - HDD is a Toshiba MK5055GSX - since June, and keep coming up with Device\Harddisk1-2-3-5\DR1-2-3-5 has bad blocks and controller malfunctions.
My dealer (also Toshiba trained techs) keep telling me that there is nothing worng with it andit is something I ahve downloaded or mucked around with in autoruns / reg. Now I have done a factory default - a real pain as had to reinstall the security and do all the udate for that and Windows. Now I am finding that after only doing those items and setting the email - doing chkdsk for all the small external HDD's I had for backup then chkdsk the internal drive the errors have flooded back too many to count but reckon must be around 500! I cannot figure out what all the diferent numbers are those readouts and the device manager check in windows is tellingme that the internal HDD #0 is working normally.
Anyone got ant suggestions as most of my comptuing time is being taken up with trying to find an answer and fix!!
Any suggestions - gratefully appreciated.
