ok, now i'm back home down south on my old rig. it's an AMD K6-II 500, 192 MB SDRAM, GA-5AX MB, with a 10GB Seagate hdd running WinME. and nowadays, i usually get a BSOD saying:
Disk Write Error
Unable to write to disk in drive C:
Data or files may be lost
Press any key to continue
and i presume my hdd's dying? anyone experienced this? i'm wondering how much longer my hdd will last. if not long, maybe i could get a new one while i'm here..
the wierd thing is that it doesn't come up while i'm trying to save pics and documents (as far as i've experienced), but it comes up when i'm browsing the net and suddenly, the hdd would start to read LOUDLY. while the hdd is reading, everything stops, not even the mouse cursor or the CTRL-ALT-DEL works. then comes up the BSOD. but after that, everything's fine again.
i've been saving pics and documents no problem, by the way...
i'm going to nuke ME away and replace it with 2K soon, but if i have to change the hdd anyway, i'd wait till then..
so wh (ugh... here it comes again..) at do you guys think?
i haven't run scan disk and defragment the hdd yet, maybe i'll try that...
