like what kind of problems while installing things

1. your computer crashes more frequently
2. you have problems while installing things

this is pretty much what is happening to me right now ._.
well time for you to buy a new hard drive

It's also a sign that you have too much stuff on your computer. Try uninstalling anything you don't need and don't use.

Any strange noises coming from your HDD when you boot?
Does the affected HDD occasionally seem to 'disappear' from your computer's list of currently installed hard drives in any form or fashion?

This.
You probably hit a bad sector somewhere.

been getting this

and I had a second hard drive of the exact same model and size get corrupted

should probably back my stuff up


lol my hard drives are going to stuff
last time I powered off, it just hung on shutting down, getting freezes and it disappeared on explorer


my hard drive took it's last stuff when a virus downloaded a bunch of useless junk, so now I have a way better computer. Buying a new computer would be better than recovering all the files that got forgeted over.

one time upon starting up my laptop there was a startling beep so i just got scared like stuff and unplugged it. it works fine now though it only happened once

but on the really old family pc the hard drive failed i think because when you try to turn it on it sounds like a loving fire alarm the beeping is loud
