Lurking
Damn, I am pretty sure that my HDD is on it's last days, but I don't think it'll cost me much to ask you guys some things...
Happens like this: I have a Maxtor 6E040L0 40GB, about hmm 2 years old. Last times I am getting such annoying experiece: if I install any big-sized program (or something that strikes directly the registry, including drivers also), the reboot and the following boots take about 5 minutes 'till the login. The only solution I've experienced for that is to reformat. I guess this is happening due some of bad sectors, CHKDSK pointed some errors. But, do you think it's reversible? At least to make my boot normal again. :/
I've tried Microsoft BootVis with no satisfatory results. Any other ideas? =)
