Hi,
My current HDD has been in use for around two years, I think, so it's reasonable to think it's going to fail. But for the past few weeks, every few days or so, I've been getting the "Hard drive disk failure, press f1 to continue or f2" error message, but after pressing f1 and then the power button, my computer loads fine and everything works. I believe my PC is the Dell Inspiron 660.
I have a theory for why this is, but I'm not sure. About two weeks before this started happening, I opened up the computer to measure room for a graphics card. I don't think I touched anything, but is it possible this is due to me getting static electricity on something? Or could it be that a cable to the hard drive loosened? If it was static electricity, I would expect the drive to just be dead or something.
Thanks for the advice.
