well
my problem is pretty weird...
i hv this toshiba laptop..with intel centrino 1.6 ghz processor n 80 gb sata hard disk n 1 gb ram...
it was perfectly fine till now but lately it has become very slow...especially while loading windows...i tried defragmenting the disk in a hope that it ll speed up my system but the defrag never completes..the laptop either shows a blue screen error for a flash of a second after which it reboots n then runs scandisk or it shows a delayed write error saying that it cannot write to the file c:/$Mst ..something like this n that i should try saving the data elsewhere.....
i dont know whats the problem..
if u guys hv any idea as to what cud be wrong...do lemme know...here or at sajan.aiims[AT]gmail.com
thnx in advance guys
sajan

Download the manufacturer utility and test the HDD health.
Do you have the restore disks available if needed?

Back up your data immediately!! Those are all the symptoms of a dying HDD. Back it up and replace it.
