However, I'ld rather buy a new hdd, instead of waiting for the next error on the drive (and wasting my time with fixing these errors). I did this once with one of my Maxtor drives. This drive went from bad to worse, I gave up when I could not write to the drive anymore.

howto: event viewer

With the windows have recovered the file in booting sequence is that a threat? or should I just ignore it? It's kinda weird because all the recent short cuts in the start button disappeared weird...


Also if I go to event viewer I can see the errors right? So what else can I accomplish there?
