Sorry to hear that your HDD has bad sectors - which cannot be repaired

You should start backup files now, since the files will be lost once your harddisk is down

But that can also be a good news - which you can buy a big harddisk and try all the mods (with SH4 also, perhaps after its release)

Thanx for your concern, peterloo, i really appreciate that!

I've moved my SHIII folder over from C:\ to E:\ (my other drive). The size of my drives are 80 GB each, but i think i will replace the c:\ with a 120 GB..

Edit: OH MY *********** GOD!!
When i moved the GW folder to e:\ the game ran soft like velvet. No laggin' + fast load time, High FPS!! Maybe this error on C:\ has been there for a while...

Did you defrag your old HD often?

I think so...Ca. once every mont, and also after installing or removing large programs..

Sounds like a definite hardware thing then. Then you're definitely in winning position by getting a new and well-greased drive - such a pain when they slow your games down

Yepp, i think so too.. Those HD's arent ment to last forever anyway..

Yea, well, you're lucky to be able to get all the important stuff out though.

I lost a completely custom SHIII install with my HD back in May

Up until then I was one of the few people that had an up-to-date SHIII version without supermods.

Ah well. Computers
