HD reaching end of life - how to squeeze last from it?
I have a 110 GB HD that is edging towards failure. It's already lost some files due to corruption. Everything has been transferred to a new drive, but since the old one is still more or less functional, I thought I could keep it in service and save my other HD from some wear and tear by copying (not moving) all my music to it and playing it from that drive. That's what I've been doing for the past couple of weeks but occasionally, I get a little warning triangle in the tasktray telling me that Windows couldn't write to Z:/RECYCLERS/<<random string of characters>>
There is no RECYCLERS folder on this drive and the Recycle Bin is configured not to use this drive. Should I be concerned? What are the likely outcomes when this drive finally croaks? |
