Laptop is going and it will need a new hard drive. I'm doing a scan disk on it right now. If it works I can get on the computer and reup TS. If not then maybe Kage has the info and he can PM me with it. But it dont look good. I should of backed it up, but after the last scan disk it had been working ok until yesterday. Oh well. Life will go on.
I use the laptop for almost everything now because I can take it with me on the road. If I lose the hard drive it will set everything back.
Oh Well. Life will go on.
Oh well it didnt work. Scan disk only ran for about 2 mins and hard drive quit.

I found this tech information on the drive. I did it and I was able to get back on the drive. I am still getting an error 0 but I did get my passwords and alot of files off the hard drive. Still coping as I type.

yea ok,,, It gets hot in the truck at the racetrack. Yea,, there's alot of boucing going down the road in a big truck so Vibration yes. Maybe thats all there is. Just reseat the drive a few times. Only if I'm that lucky.
Wish me luck.

I got everything copied over to the DeskTop computer that I thought was important. I think I might need to go out and get a spare drive for the laptop just for backing it up. (good idea)
Teamspeak has been paid up for the next 3 months. I'm going to start looking for a new hard drive for the laptop also on ebay.

What I found out about most Hard Drives.
A hard drive has clusters that it writes information to on the drive. A drive will have so many clusters and then it will have some spare clusters. What happens is when you scan a drive for errors and it finds a bad cluster it will try to save the information and then write or use one of the spare clusters to replace the bad one. Once you have so many bad clusters you use up or almost use up all your spare clusters. On my Laptop this is known as Error #0 on boot up. It's lets you know that your drive is running out of the spare clusters and you better be backing up your drive. Anyways the drive is working fine but the error #0 is still coming up on bootup, so my drive has ran out or is running out of spare clusters.
Easy fix. Replace the drive.
