Windows 2000 frustration..

So I think my PCI ATA133 card is going bad; the disk management console reports my E and F drives as "At Risk", and both are hanging off the same IDE controller. No worries, as I have another somewhere. However, I've found that when clearing up space for one of the drives by moving files to a different drive, sometimes the system hangs, and has trouble getting unstuck. The frustration arises when I try to kill the Explorer.exe process or the "application" that is the open Explorer file manager. In the case of the former, I get an access denied error, and in the latter, I get an error saying Windows could not close the program, and a warning for me to close the debugger. WTF? Eventually, the processes die on their own and the Explorer shell restarts.

I am the freaking Administrator and I can't kill processes? In Unix, if you want to kill something, you kill it and it's dead.

Gah, Windows sucks...
