| 215561 | 2004-02-14 21:28:00 | Hi Guys WinME, P2 350, 6 Gig HD. Friday, before downloading antivirus files, my PC became sluggish - very slow in everything I do. When activating a program, it takes years to load and execute, again very slow. Checked for virii, nothing. No spyware. Got a message tho' : "cannot write to C - disk failure" and a blue screen. I believe my HD is packing up, and I can still possibly still save it, but don't HD just die - this "slow death" seems odd. Any help would be appreciated. Thx Sarel |
