Okay, I'll bite...
Where can I find this software you wrote, and how much do you charge to recover data from HDs?

I ran chkdsk from the right click menu of my computer, and did check the surface scan and fix problems boxes. Hard to tell if the problem is solved as it only seemsed to fail now and again, and maybe most often when doing a backuup, so large amount of data are being copied.
That's the equivalent of doing a CHKDSK /R from the command line.Originally posted by: dbarton

You might have a flaky Y-connector on your power supply cable to the driveor whatever.
I'm suspecting it's something other than a HD failure, however, I would make sure you're backed-up, just in case!
That's what I was waiting for...
'/F' aside, this proves your HD is dieing!
Do an extended write, and pull the power connector to the drive in mid-action.
