Got disk problems - not sure what to do next. Hers the order of events:
Installed windows updates.
Next time computer was booted, it prompted disk errors, backed up as suggested.
Computer going very slowly.
Ran chkdsk /f on disk - said there are NO ERRORS and nothing corrected.
Computer runs fine for a few mins, then slow again, then more messages saying errors on disk, backup data.
Have run spybot and scanned disk with AVG just in case I have some sort of virus but not really getting anywhere.
Computer gets slower and slower until it stops working, then I have to boot into safe mode/network and can do things and all seems ok but when I try and reboot into normal mode, it all starts going slow again.
Does chkdsk know better than windows o/s about disk problems?
Running on a Toshiba laptop using Windows 7.
Any help greatly appreciated!
HELP!
