Is my hard drive dying ?

[U HAX0R]

I keep getting write errors with Azureus and GrabIt on my 250GB hard drive ... I tried Windows Error-checking and I get "Windows was unable to complete blah blah"

So ?

Try the manufacturer diagnostic. They're on the UBCD.

Yeah I thought of that ... But I did the chkdsk instead ... :/ Seems it will take a while ...

You can also try looking at the SMART info with SpeedFan to see if anything is really messed up.

Do you water it daily and make sure that it gets enough sunlight?

It seems SpeedFan only finds two of my HDD ... but anyway the chkdsk just finished and found 5 bad sectors ...

Is that really bad ?

EDIT: I just tried the WD thing on the UBCD and it doesn't even detect the 250GB drive ... but I see it in Windows ....
