Hey, Anyone else seen Windows Vista reporting a Hard Drive problem but when you run a Disk Check there are no errors detected? I dont have much confidence in Vista so I am unsure whether to Trust what Vista is saying, perhaps someone can recommend a decent 3 party tool to check with.

The vista disk check does not check for physical issues, the drive problem message is probably coming from the SMART check the disk does.
I'd replace the drive now, especially if you don't have backups made.

You bring up an interesting point. Our Windows 7 all of a sudden had the windows detected a hard disk problem this month too. I have always wondered if Microsoft sends out some sort of so called patch that takes out hard drives.....
