Which again to me suggests an issue with the hard drive. I can't remember what brand of laptop this is, however if it's a dell, it will most likley have a Hitachi/IBM drive in it, best to open it and find out, run the manufacturers diag program on the disk to see if it's defective, if it's not, run chkdsk on it and then see what happens. -- Harondel J.
