Hello friends: Why is it that i keep getting the following two errors.(operating sys not found, and also Hard Drive Failure warnings, warning me to replace my HD).
But when i do a Full HD scann it doesnt even find even one error. Should i replace my Hard drive? Winme Thank you friends for your help. Its Linda
Lin, I'm almost convinced that your problems are SYS related, your HD was on the way out 3 or 4 weeks back wasnt it ??. Still going though ??. Have you tried reinstalling System files ? I may be way off the mark here,but i'd try that first myself, or even a full reinstall before i bought a new HD, just to be sure. Take care Lin.
