I have the same problem as Joel...My computer also continually freezes when on the Internet...usually when I am trying to access a link on a site. What's up with that...please be advised I am not computer literate in terms of the lingo.

I have a problem, i get a notice on my screen every now and again saying that the Hard Disk has predicted it will fail but everything is working fine and when i checked computer management the report goes like this,Logname:system Source Disk logged:13/01/2009 12:43:21 Event ID:52 Task category:none Level:Warning Keywords:Classic User N/A Computer: me-pc OpCode: I am not very savvy with computers but trying to learn. I get a notice on my screen every once in a while since yesterday afternoon saying that the Hard Disk predicted imminent failure so i backed up my files and it is now about 01;30 in the morning and everything works fine. I was wondering, is it possible that it might not be as catastrophic as windows says it is and maybe i don't have to replace the Hard Drive just yet? I was also wondering, is it possible to replace the internal Hard Drive with an external one? I am using an Acer Aspire 3690 with Vista Basic, Can anyone please advise? Thankyou.

Hi Paul, run chkdsk from an elevated (alt-click, then run as administrator) cmd prompt. You should be able to find the cmd prompt shortcut under accessories in the start menu.

Similar problem to Paul H. only I get message every time I boot up and in normal mode, the hard drive freezes up after a few minutes. When I start up again same thing happens. Only way I can keep hard drive running is in safe mode. Cannot back anything up in safe mode. Gateway technician said to reload factore defaults which will wipe installed programs and data files that I cannot back up. Any recommendations? Lew.

Hi Lew,

There should be an option in your BIOS to turn off this prompting about your HDD going to fail. Look for something along the lines of SMART capability.

In all likelihood, your drive is going to fail, so back it up and get it replaced!
