Desktop unit (asus MB/windows xp pro -- all updates loaded) all of a
sudden quite working and would loop in rebooting, then started saying
files were missing. 80g drive is partitioned into three drives. Tried
reformating the C drive -- NTFS format went very very slowly but
eventually finished and xp loaded (SP2 from slipstream cd). Still
running very very slowly and boots, but takes forever. Chkdsk does not
show errors but third partition on drive was no longer recognized and I
repartitioned -- trying to format, but going very very slow and may not
format.
What is happening?-- would assume HD failure but wanted to see how to be
sure. Drive (WD) is only about a year old and failure this soon would
be unusual. Thanks.
