Yeah, this is becoming a nuissance. First my games started to hard lock after playing a long time (Tribes: Vengeance <3). I figured it was windows and it sorta needed a reinstall. I also needed needed to remap my partitions so I took this as a time to do (Partition for the page file, and swap the documents and system partitions around for better performance, arranged in the order of [Documents===========][System==][SWAP]).
It froze up during the partitioning process which bothered me some, but I figured Eh... It's windows setup, what else could I expect. So it took 2 or 3 times before I could remap the partition table and install windows. Well after it got installed, 3 days later, the system started to hard lock (couldn't even blue screen!) when I was under heavy hard drive activity.
Today it just began showing blue screens and system events that I have come to know and recognize as windows trying to say "Your harddrive is crap". Within the last 6 days windows has complained about the disk 23x and 1x by ATAPI.
Event: 11, Type: error, Source: disk, Category: None.
The driver detected a controller error on \Device\Harddisk0\D.
Event: 5, Type: error, Source: atapi, Category: None.
A parity error was detected on \Device\Ide\IdePort0.
Drive D, my documents partition, is a 50gb partition that houses not only word documents but also many gig of video. The average file size on that is 5mb, a lot bigger than the normal average, because of massive video clips that I work on for class (editing... *sigh*). These files generally have a mean lifetime of 2 weeks, currently I have 30gb worth of clips, so traffic is very high. I can see why that partition complains about disk problems, but a hard drive SHOULD NOT FAIL in 2 months.
Anyone else getting this really annoying bug?
By the way, this is the 2nd time in 2 months that my hard drive has failed on me. Last time it cost me $100 to send it in back and forth (insurance and fast shipping because I NEED this else I get stuck doing editing on a 900mhz machine)
By the way, the hard drive is a Toshiba MK8026GAX, 80gb 5400rpm 16mb cache.
