After my last blog post of December 14, the PC started acting up. I was able to use it for a couple of days. But then a near digital disaster made its ugly debut when the warning of an imminent hard disk failure unexpectedly popped up on the screen.
I immediately called into action the diagnostic power
of Norton 360 to check out the entire PC. Not good! The analytic software kicked out the
following message: “The disk hardware is predicting the hard drive will eventually
fail. Backup your data and replace your
hard drive.”
That’s a warning message of impending computer death
and the loss of all files. It’s not what
any PC user wants to see. But it
definitely is one that a PC user can ignore only at his or her peril.
