The drive is from 2015, workload on that machine is light these days, e-mail/internet browsing etc but it used to be a 3d render machine util 2019. It wouldn't power down from the start button yesterday (just unresponsice after clicking 'switch off') and I ran a disk repair and sys file check both of which claimed to have found and fixed errors, had to do a hard power off a couple of times. Last thing at night yetsreday it was hanging endlessly when it was powering down so I switched off at the power again.
Worst case scenario if it can't be repaired is there are a few key files I need to recover (outlook express .pst file, firefox bookmarks, google earth .kmz file) so if I can get a good file recovery software I'll live with that but preferably I'd like to just repair the damage if possible.
