Title: Dang me, I think HD went bad already
Post by: Getback on December 11, 2010, 12:20:51 AM

I just put a new drive in there in January. I've been having issues all day. Then I thought I would defrag. I never saw so much red in my life. I think she's gone. Not sure if I should try backing up the files or not.

1> The drive is most likely under warranty still.
2> GET YOUR DATA OFF OF THERE WHILE YOU STILL CAN!

Yes, sometimes drives go bad early.
