Went ahead and reformatted the hard drive. My guy also talked me in to replacing the MaxStor hard drive, which he said when was a time bomb. Total bill was $140. Problem solved.

Shoulda gotten an SSD.

Aren't those uber pricey?

Cheaper than $200 jeans.

Nicely played.

You cannot wear an SSD out to an Ottmar Liebart performance.

I mean, you could, but it would not be very comfortable. And it would not survive a collision with a Subaru WRX driven by a maniac.

Actually, it might. One of the many advantages they have over platter drives is that you can literally throw them across the room at something hard and not cause a problem, whereas a traditional drive can potentially be ruined if you drop it on the carpet putting it into your case.

I splurged on an SSD last winter, and its a delight. I still install most programs on my HD though. Its a great tech, I'm happy the prices continue to drop quickly.
