Is your computer on a network? Sometime a computer that is trying to connect to a network, but is unable to do so, will exhibit all kind of wired problems. Have you checked your log files. Have you changed any settings in you compression software? Are you running any virus scanning software? Have you added any new peripherals to you computer lately that installed new drivers?

Also, you can download the test software from the manufacturer's web site to test the disk. Usually their is an option that would certify the HD as OK.

All,

Over the last couple of weeks I've noticed a growing degredation in my TPC's disk access times, and I wonder if anyone has any suggestions as to how I might determine the cause.

Presently, I am setting the TPC to standby rather than shutting it down, because shut down and startup both tend to hang with the disk access light on. A few days ago the "compact old files" option took several hours to complete instead of the usual few minutes.

I suspect those fixed-position disk blocks that store system info are going bad and many CRC errors are happening for each successful read or write; however it's possible that I've contracted a virus or that some other hardware error is at the root of this.

Can anyone suggest a trouble-shooting procedure that might help isolate the problem?
