All right, I just jumped ahead and chose #1 from the menu.
It ran an advanced disk fitness check and basically came back with bad things to report, and then asked me if I would like to rewrite (erase) the disk or repair it.
Since I don't have anything that I'm worried about losing on this PC, I opted for a full reformatting of the drive/disk.
It asked me if I was sure/REALLY sure and then went and did its thing.
It is now saying:
Technical Result Code
Drive Information
Serial Number X6GYRA7M
Failure Code : 0x75 - Defective Device. Component Failure.
Test Date : 14-01-2010 (dd-mm-yyyy)
Technical Result Code (TRC)
750003F2
> OK <
So, what now? Is "defective device/component failure" as bad as it sounds?
Thanks,
