Hello . . .
I am facing this HDD problem for many days. thought it might be RAM and increased it but still the problem exists...
my problem is it is taking very long time to start up and very very long time to shut down !! and when it is in use red color LED is supposed to be blinking but it stays ON continuously, friends said it is due to bad sectors and they can't be fixed and have to purchase new HDD.
and is that true that bad sectors are virtual (partition) only and not physical and will not be spread like a virus from one HDD to another ???
pls clarify my doubts and provide suitable solutions . . .
thank you
