I tried to copy a lot of files to another part of my drive, and when it reaches this particular video file, it always freezes up windows and never finishes copying. Skipping it copy the rest of the files, but the video remains at the same place. I can totally open up the video and play using Windows media player, no problems, and I have also run windows disk checks. No errors here, I opened up windows defrag and it says 0% fragmentation. I tried safe mode, it still freezes when I copy. The screen timeout still functions (I set it to two minutes) so I'm not sure whether the computer froze or not because I can't click anything even cancelling, I have to force restart my pc by holding the power button. I have also used roadkill unstoppable copier, it freezes there forever. If I wait for it to respond, usually takes around 7 minutes and it will say I/O error. It freezes up when the green bar at 60% This happened with some of my other video files in another folder too. That Green bar froze at 10%. Is my hard drive dying?? I have many precious photos and videos that are not backed up. I have this laptop for 3 years and it's been showing up recently. Also is there anyway I can retrieve this file? Do I need to use fraps to record the windows media player and get another file? The previous file I was able to delete it (shift + delete) but this is important!!! I have also turn off DEP IN THE PERFORMANCE tab as well
