Hard drive problem
On a couple of occasions after the computer has been on for several hours it locks up and it has to be switched off by pulling the plug. After 5 minutes, on trying to restart it I get the following message:-
"Disk read error, press CTRL, ALT, DEL to restart"
On trying this, the message repeats and I am unable to get the computer to start. It can be shut down by holding in the start switch. After about an hour it can be restarted and carries out a 3 stage disk check before loading Windows.
Am I correct in thinking that my hard drive is about to fail?
