Hi folks. Didnt think much of the flag on my desktop but did check it out and I have got a "drive error"
which windows would like me to restart and run fsavail (some filesystem program to fix)
basically Im pretty sure that all that happened was that I accidentally nudged the data cable out of my 32GB SSD (which runs my computer) and that everything is relatively ok. What im worried about is windows trying to be a super hero and doing all this unnecessary stuff to my drive resulting in it crashing and me having to reinstall everything.
for some backup info... i lost my 1TB Drive due to some faulty software microsoft released for my graphics driver. Long story short 2 weeks of diagnostics and repair tools and i simply grabbed a 32GB SSD off my brother and got windows 10 running again. It was not "hard" but it wasnt easy. Windows wanted to do a lot of stuff that my new drive cant handle (no space for windows update etc) AND that faulty software which toasted my old drive is on auto install from windows.
long story short, im reluctant to run any hard drive tools when im not experiencing any real issues. I would feel more comfortable if windows would go into detail about what problem they have detected. So... anyone with any level of experience comment? can a drive with very little space HANDLE whatever diagnostic is attempting to run itself on my system? Is there any way for me to get more information on the problem without taking action? is it possible that is a default message resulting from a cable being unplugged at a bad time? is there any way to make the message correct itself IE go away and let me think its all good? Should i be genuinely concerned that this may cause more serious problems at a later date?
THE END, (Long story long really... sorry guys )
P.s. nice to get to know you all. Im tav, 29, like long walks on the beach etc..
EDIT***-----
found button that says turn off messages about drive status.... one issue down.
still looking for advice but should you all have none... i will go with my gut and do exactly that.
