Well I got the checkdisk done and everything seems back to normal. I have not received the message from Windows about a hard drive problem. But under HD Tune in the health section, it still says health status failed. I did a quick error scan with HD Tune and no blocks were damaged. I am going to do a full scan to see if any blocks are damaged.
Since I ran checkdisk, my computer has not been real slow like before. The activity light has not came on either.
