Error's causing slowdowns

NvidiaDan · 5 Jan 2010 at 00:12

Hey all,

Reacently my system has become increasingly slow reading and writing files and often hangs. I suspect its due to this.

This is the second time this has happened, last time was temporarily fixed by re-installing windows7.

Any ideas what this error means and how to fix it, or could it be new hard drive time?.

Thanks

Yeah, chkdsk reports nothing.

I only bought the drive in september, but it was OEM. Would there be any kind of warranty still on it?.
Thanks

Burnt and booted the WD diagnostics CD and it was unable to detect a drive. :confused:

Thought i fixed it, ran a hard drive regenerator which detected and fixed 14 bad sectors which seemed to make it dissapear for about 30 mins but now its back. I think i will be ringing the company i bought it from today.
