Disk Error message - Time to start looking for a new HD?

[ben_j_davis]

Today when i turned on my PC and reached Windows i got something like the following message.

"Disk error press ctrl + alt + delete to reset"

After allowing Scandisk to do its business, everything was fine.

The HD is a Hitachi Deskstar T7K250 NCQ 160GB, only had it for about 7 months.

Do you think I should replace the drive?


Thanks

Ben

Okay now i can only get into Windows once every 6 restarts, this isn't looking good.

No, it only a few months old.

Drive seems to be ok at the moment, but i'm still worried something's going to happen.
