Bad Sectors?????
« on: December 21, 2006, 12:04:46 AM »
I have a IBM t-40 with a 40 gig hd and i am having prblems with it staying on i have tried reinstalling win xp pro and nothing. i have tried fprot nothing and a bunch of other things. When I run the IBM Diagnositcs it gives me several ECC errors in the HD as well as bad address marks.... I am wondering if all the time I have put in trying to fix this is worth it or should I just get a new hard drive for it?????

     scottde2.....  Well , unless your really attached to it ......... LOL ......  I would consider having a new one installed ....unless you are able to do it yourself.
    If thats the route you decide to go ...get a price to replace it first...... that laptop is what , 4 years old now ?  It might be cost effective to replace it with a new laptop.

    If you don't know the answer, it isn't a dumb question.
