How would I diagnose a failing Hard Disc?
Hello,
Someone suggested that a problem of mine may be caused by a failing Hard Disc, but didn't know how to diagnose it and suggested I start a new thread to ask about it. How would I diagnose a failing Hard Disc? Thanks. |

Go to the HD's manufacturer's page. They normally have tools to test your drive. However, there's no sure way... SMART and other diagnostic tools can still show 100% on a failing drive.
