Jorge,
Well, yesterday I reformatted the C drive and did a scandisk
afterwards and it said there were 0 bad sectors.
Now the big problem is getting my system sound back up and running. I
can play cd's on it in various apps, but they (nor DVD's, the sound, anyway)
won't play in my DVD player and I can't get any system sounds to come up
anymore.
