[Allanoo]

Hi
This is in full yesterday WAR Online I had a big crash and freeze to reboot it says err disk / system. I formatted and reinstalled WinXP ... until this morning where it again exactly did the same thing. Strangely when the computer restarted but same good sense that I gonna shit in the glue again.

So it is a pb a hard drive? I can add my dxdiag if it can help Thank you for your help!

Yes your drive is probably dying. You have to backup or your done ...
Partitioning spares nothing in your disk.

I had the same problem recently with the crash of HD led stays lit. Then error with the drive to restart. Then after a few tens of minutes, the disc is correctly recognized again and it departed.

I identified this problem as being caused by my version of Spy Bot. If you use this software, disable it or uninstall it just to see.

There is a windows disk check utility that should serve the purpose.
The steps to use it are:
- Double-click on My Computer to open the My Computer window.
- Select the disk that you want to diagnose and repair.
- Choose Properties from the File menu. You should see the Properties window for the drive that you selected.
- Choose the Tools tab.
- Click the Check Now button under Error Checking Status.
- Depending on your version of Windows, choose either "Thorough" or "Scan for and Attempt Recovery of Bad Sectors."
- Click on Start.
