look who's back from the dead
Ill cut to the chase, my girlfriend's laptop is only about a year old with windows 7.. for the last few days she keeps getting this error:
Windlows detected a hard disk problem. Back up your files immediately to prevent information loss, and contact the computer manufacturer to determine if you need to repair or replace the disk.
Sounds to me like the hard drive's on its way out. Before I assume the worst and put a new hard drive in and install windows on that, is it likely that somethings corrupted, or a problem with a certain sector that could be fixed by reformatting?
Thanks in advance guys!
