Will try the usual chkdsk /r, chkdsk /p, fixboot from recovery console tonight, but is this issue indicative of a failing HDD??

Or could it just be a low-level corruption?

773242 2009-05-12 01:49:00 definatly do the chkdsk /r, chkdsk /p, fixboot bit - its fixed the problem everytime for me :thumbs:

if you are worried aboutthe hdd failing go the manufacuters site and grab the disk tools they should have - give it a good thrashing with that and if it all passes then it *Should* be fine :thumbs:

Since if you enable it (if a system supports it), but the drivers havent been installed, you'll get that message / it'll crash
