Hi Antony,
                No noise from the hard drive but programs seem to take longer to load, swapping between windows sometimes leaves bits of the previous one up for a bit, bits of the XP tool bar near the clock are missing icons sometimes when i start up and next time i start up they are back etc.
 
When i first start up until i can open Outlook Express up is about 4 mins.
 
Had trouble when i switched to a different user the toolbar and desktop icons didn`t appear, just a pix from my documents. Took 3 attempts to log on with a different user before it worked.
 
Talked to a young bloke at work and he said the HD is slowly dying but couldn`t explain why.
 
The computer is 4 years old and it has Intel M/board, P4 1.6ghz, 40gb HD. Running Z/A Security Suite V6 (got rid of NIS 2005), various anti-spyware programs etc..
 
Any help is greatly appreciated.
 
Please feel free to contact me off list.
 
Cheers,
                Kris

lots of them, check these sites for help, but most important is abnormal clicking sound from the harddrive. What brand is your computer? some manufacturers (HP) have a testing tool in the bios setup.

Hi All,
          Sorry for the off topic question, but are there signs related to hard drives starting to fail?
