HDD Corrupting....

[CBrooksC]

So HDD is corrupting, only a year old any ideas for fixing it? It's not so bad atm, I ran sfg /scannow on CMD and that seemed to save it for while but it's back.

Also seeing as the HDD came with a 5 year warrently would it still be covered?

Hi, have you checked that it is a hardware fault and not an OS installation or malware problem? If it's a hardware fault with the drive itself then it should be covered under warranty.

Suggest you first make sure all data is backed-up, and then check the drive's SMART status (e.g. with hdtune or crystaldiskinfo) and run a full diagnostic using the drive manufacturer's diagnostic tools (if it fails these normally tell you an error code which you may need for an RMA).
