Re: Is something wrong with my Hard drive?

Do you have hibernation disabled? Do you have system restore off? Do you have shadow copies off?

Re: Is something wrong with my Hard drive?

I thought that as well. Till i saw that he is running Vista. That 137GB Barrier hasnt been around since XP SP2. Vista doesnt have it.
