  • That was...scary

    So last night, I'm doing the usual stuff on my computer (playing World of WarCraft, etc), when all of a sudden a couple of keyboard keys stop responding. So, I end up having to re-start, which, when I did, I came across one of those dreaded hard drive errors. Here's me, freaking out real bad, that I'd have to get a replacement hard drive, although I have had component cables come loose in the past, so I open up the case, check that the hard drive cable is in all the way, do a little finaggling which, after, system booted up normally. Just to be safe, however, I ran a disk scan, which I've attached the results below


    This HP Pavilion p7-1234 is around 6-7 years old, so I believe the hard drive is also that old.


    Long story short: Do I need to consider buying a replacement drive, soon? Am I being a little bit paranoid?

    that's about the normal life span for an HP however I will have my husband look at the results latter and get back to you unless someone else does but that scan is normal. I haven't seen the blue screen of death in ages lol.

      Seems fine to me. If you have fifty spare bucks, set it aside and wait for a decent sale on NewEgg/etc, then grab a secondary drive to use as a backup, juuuust in case. You may wanna just reinstall windows on the replacement drive and keep the original as a backup/file storage unit.
