Usually you would get errors on boot up ..maybe it's your power supply or the processor fan is fucked?

definately a hardware issue. I'd back everything up and replace the drive. You never know how long it'll last so do it ASAP

good thanks =)

Back up quick

Also if you try a fdsk it can make things worse if it doesn't fix it.

Back up everything before this.

Let me guess. You have a Maxtor?

I have some that have been running problem free for about 4 years now.I still think he has a power supply problem or the processor is over heating

I've lost 3 maxtors in the past year.

I actually bought a Maxtor external last week.
It's the only brand I could find (I wanted to buy local).

drives fail, it happens.

try doing "chkdsk /R /X" on the drive, this could take up to hours depending on the size of the drive. if you cannot properly fix and recover the indexes, the drive needs to be replaced.

Download a program called "HDD Health" it'll tell you the status of the drive.
