Is My Hard Disk Drive Crashed? by kumbalo(m): 2:43pm On Nov 26, 2008
I Put on my PC yesterday morning and found an error message at the bottom while it was posting quoted 'Disk read error" after trying to repair my operating system (Win XP Pro Service pack 2) it still would not boot up to Windows. I contemplated on formatting the hard drive using NTFS file system.

I then partitioned my Hard drive and formatted it. I noticed my PC{ (Csmiley drive} became very slow without installing any application on it. i haven't experienced any PC as slow as that before ( 3.0GHz p4 Processor, 512mb RAM).

I decided to format the other partition (Dsmiley using the same method but this other partitions worked very fine. all through yesterday. only for me to see the same error message this morning.

My questions are; Could it be as a result of too many clusters, if so what can i do? or is the HDD crashed?

your objective comments would be highly appreciated

Yes, your HDD is about to crash!

Time for you to buy another new HDD and transfer all old working files you have been saved from old HDD to new HDD.

That's it!

As it is a P4 system and I am guessing that it is the same HDD that came with the system, it has been working for a while and sorry to say, it is time to change it.
