Hi, First I would try scandisk. Then a program call Hard drive Mechanic . Not wanting to be the bearer of bad news , but is possible that the h/d is getting ready to fail and what you are getting are warnings. No one likes them. But any one who has tryed to boot up only to find the h/d has fried has always said...."Darn! I wish it had given me a warning. I could of backed up all my stuff" Dah! Hope this of some help. If not, reply with exactly what the messages say.......ok? Peace Goodwill and Happy Computing Robin Raintree Librarian for: World Library Data Base 314
