Having a slight problem here with my old pc.
I dont know what the HD is but its 160gb and full to the brim. Last time i seen it was 400mb left.
My problem is, when i power on. It is VERY slow in loading W7. when it does load it will go black for a quite a while.Sometimes it will stay black for a few hours before the log on screen appears. When i do get to log on. It will log on in about 10 seconds then all the vibrations from the HD stops...and if i click anything nothing happens. Sometimes if i click start it will bring up the start menu and crash completely. Is this a HD problem not getting power, OS problem, virus ????
I am thinking about wiping this HD but there are a lot of pictures/videos i would like to backup. Thats if the HD isnt ******
do you think if i powered the pc on and leave it on the log on screen, i can open up its shared drive and take everything from there and put it on this pc? or do i have to be logged on?
Would sticking that HD in my current pc do any damage? would i be able to open it from "my computer"?
Thanks
