Your hard disk drive is ready to go or is gone, needs replacing. Recommend you go
to manufacturer's website, downoad diagnostic program to check hard drive. Incidently,
the hard drives today don't seem to last the way older drives did. Yes, they are
faster and bigger but not necessarily better when it comes to being able to depend
on your data. Most manufacturer's warranties reflect this change. Instead of a 3
yr. warrantty of old now we are lucky to get a 1 yr. warranty. I think that says
it all.
