thanks to the wonders of SMART, i have learned that my barra 4 is about to suck the big one.

i used a little program called Drive Health, and i think its about to save me losing 40 gig of games.

GET THIS PROGRAM!!!

i am now going to have to back up my crap somewhere and take that drive in to bill, because as far as i am concerned its failed.

And now i think about it starting to do that click of death thing.. especially when first turnign on for the evening...

BILL!!!

Thanks for that rainwulf.. Nice little app that is. Bad luck about the hard drive but the important thing is you got a nice new one and you didn't lose any data either... Just installed that on mine and my dads computers... though I run a hard drive diagnostic from WD every now and then just to be sure... all drives are still in tip top condition :)

You can use your screwed hard drive to rest your coffee cup on.
