Hey guys,
I am in some trouble (still not serious enough thou). Recently i made 2 more partitions on my HDD and installed some Linux distros (4 of them) as virtual drives. At that point I noticed that I was suffering major data loss on the partition where I kept those Linux distros (downloaded via torrent). At a point I lost about 10GB out of nowhere. I checked that partition and Windows found an error and repaired it. But shortly after it happened again. I scaned for viruses, but found nothing.
Whenever I try searching on google, I always get links for data recovery software... I am pretty desperate at this point.
Any idea what might be going on? Is my HDD slowly dying on me? Should I merge the partitions back? Could it be the virtual machines fault (using VMware Player)?
I would appreciate any kind of suggestion! Tnx in advance.
