Help, the Syndicate murdered my HD!!
« on: November 08, 2006, 05:42:18 AM »
Oh no, the game Syndicate might have damaged my HD! I tried installing the game onto my HD, and part way through, because of a bad track on the floppy, caused an error. I rebooted, started erasing what had been installed so far, and at a certain file, started making a loud clicking sound, as if the head were hitting something. I stopped, rebooted, and started to run the repair program, and on two files in particular, the program is taking forever to get through that sector. Plus when I rebooted, it was taking much longer to load WB.

Suggestions?? Will I have to reformat the entire drive to get it back to normal or is the HD damaged now?

Yech! Icky.

Oh well, better play it from floppies then. Just to be safe, I'm going to take everything off that partition that I can and reformat it.

I have two HDs and the one Syndicate was on didn't have much important stuff thank goodness.
