Hard Drive Errors
I have run my laptop manufactures Diagnostic utility on my system. I have
included the results below. There are a few hard drive errors on the diagnostic report. The laptop is over three years old and would not be worth much these days. If I am reading the diagnostic correctly, it would appear the hard drive is near failing and needs replacement. Of course given the age of the system, replacement would not likely be economical. So am I reading this correctly? Should I be shopping for a new computer?

Hard Drive Errors
Hi Wade,
It's a candidate for replacement. You might try replacing it, as they are not all that expensive. Just don't buy it from Compaq, try instead tigerdirect.com, newegg.com or tufshop.com. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Associate Expert - WindowsXP Expert Zone www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone Windows help - www.rickrogers.org "Wade Waldron" wrote in message ...
