hi all, after my acer laptop crashed yesturday and i had to hard power it down it has been so slugish, it takes about 20 - 30 mins to boot and after doing a hard disk scan it was apparent that some blocks were taking a matter of seconds to read.
im going to try chkdsk but i cant understand this problem ?
update : disk is making a scratchy sound every half a second, not continuous, safe mode is super slow also. scratch pause for about 1/4 of a second then scratch and so on ???.
im thinking hard drive failure ?
just poped it into a caddy via usb to my main machine and its is very hot, im trying to get some of the data from it now but it is acting very slow and still scratching
