my computer is starting to get really slow. When I look at the event viewer, in the System Event log I found the following error:
QUOTE Event Type: Error Event Source: Disk Event Category: None Event ID: 7 Date: 7/17/2005 Time: 10:51:13 PM User: N/A Computer: myComputer Description: The description for Event ID ( 7 ) in Source ( Disk ) cannot be found.

This is exactly the same problem I had with my previous hard disk before it finally failed. I got event ID7, 9 as well as 51 and soon I lost the partition. The warnings that you have on the event log are highly indicative that the "health" of your hard disk is rapidly deteriorating. You should back up your hard disk as soon as possible (usually you are ahead the ultimate failure by a few days), though you may find the back-uping process painstakingly slow. Then you should unmount your hard disk and ask for a replacement. The agent will then do a surface test on the hard disk and I think they can find the bad sectors on the disk. As for me, they got me a new hard disk within a week.

I agree. I've seen it all before and it looks like your hard drive is about to fail. Back up all of your data onto DVD, CD or any removable media to hand, even if the drive is going extremely slowly.
However, I would try making sure the hard drive is seated and secured properly in your case, and all cables are secured, as I know a guy who went out and bought himself a new drive, only to realise the old one worked fine, but a cable was loose. Also, make sure the case itself is on a hard surface and not wobbling, as this can cause a mechanical failure of the disk. |
