Mesage to say backup immediately

[ICIT2LOL]

I am ploughing along and suddenly get a message for the system to back up immediately - which I did (system image).

Now I am left wondering what to do reinstall or just carry on _ I cannot remember the exact wording but it came from within the OS as it was labeled Microsoft - should have taken a pic in hindsight. It then went to do you want to make a rescu disk - which I have anyway.

Any ideas on what I should do folks please?

It could be a virus trying to fake you. So be careful. This is what I suggest just to be safe:

Do a full scan of your system using: Microsoft Security Essentials - Free Antivirus for Windows

Afterwards: Malwarebytes : Free anti-malware download

If nothing pops up for both of those,

Give it a shot.

Ok Justin thanks mate I have MBAM and Kaspersky the Microsoft Malicious tool and th e Microsoft scanner.

[HonorGamer]

Kaspersky is good, but not even the best A/V can pick up all the viruses. But please let me know.

 

[ICIT2LOL]

Hum thanks centaur slipped my tiny mind that one if I find anything that looks vaguely odd I will.

 

[ICIT2LOL]

Now the scan found nothing but in event viewer I didd find this it is a drive I was diskparting and is obviously no good I reckon.

Sorry ate uploaded the wrong one

 

[HonorGamer]

Could you attach the log itself? This way we can see the whole log.

[centaur78]

hmm it look like SMART has found problems with the drive.... most probably be bad sectors...

could you do a hard disk diagnostic...

Also please attach the whole log along with app and system.

Well not exactly Justin.....

SFC is more for windows files system check

What he has is a SMART error which is more related to the physical hard drive... something like Seagate Seatool or WD or Samsung software.....

Also he could use GRC's Spinrite to check the HDD as well.

That to. Then in this case:

[*]Run all but the advanced tests with SeaTools for HDDs.

SeaTools for Windows

SeaTools for DOS​

I need to stop trying this stuff when I'm really tired. I end up getting everything confused. lol

 

[ICIT2LOL]

So to get it clear in my mind I do a scannow on the machine with the drive in situ?

I did a Seagate tools scan a while ago and they came up pass for this drive and my SSD but will run again and see.

 

[centaur78]

lol... welcome to the club mate !!

 

[ICIT2LOL]

lol... welcome to the club mate !!

Yep pretty exclusive eh? all one needs is a befuddled mind LOL!!

Its worse trying to do a BSOD analysis lol. But go ahead re run the Seagate tools. Just for safe measures.

Apart from the above you could also check with HD Tune

 

[ICIT2LOL]

Well fellas I think game over as the wretched thing showed up in Seagate then promptly disappeared it's spinning but no SATA connection.

scan the drive in offline mode
