Here's one for you experts. My video drive suddenly stopped being recognised by Windows. So I tried to do a CHKDSK on it, which failed because it couldn't be seen. Booted from a Win 7 DVD into Repair and ran CHKDSK /r from there; after what seemed like an age (12+ hours) it found numerous errors and made numerous corrections to the disk. After a restart it went well for a few hours but then stopped responding (to some video editing) so I ran CHKDSK again (this time from Windows), and it found some errors (not as many as before), fixed them and it has been going OK since (a couple of days).
Question: is this disk dying, or were those errors just accumulating to the point where CHKDSK was needed and now it will be OK? I don't have any experience with CHKDSK so am looking for thoughts/ideas.
And yes yes yes I'm backed up!
