HD failure

[craigdexter1]

I ran a utilities software on my system cause its been running kinda funky lately and Heres what it spit up about the HD- The Butterfly seek passed and the random seek passed ---This was the only failure.

Read/Verify Test

Ended at 3:54:37 PM on 12/26/2006
Start Sector: 0
Stop Sector: 195813071

This test failed. This may have been due to
· A defective head or cylinder
· A defective or incomplete low-level format
· A drive failure, either electronic or mechanical
The diagnostic test reported:
Error: SCSIReadVerifySector failed (1117).

I think I should bet a new HDD!

Would this cause the system so slow down?

That tells me, your hard drive is about ready to fail. Backup your data immediately and buy a new hard drive.

Your faulty hard drive is more than likely the reason your slow system.
