Default Re: hdd

Most likely you have a problem with the hard drive. However, it is also
possible (much less likely than the first one) that your power supply is
overloaded.

Getting a diagnostic tool for the hard drive manufacturer's web site to
check the drive is a good start. However, if the problem is intermittent the
diagnostic may end up saying everything is ok.
You can also download some application that checks motherboard voltages like
motherboard monitor and see if it goes to low.

My suggestion would be to back up the harddrive and do whatever you want
fast. Be ready to get a new drive.
