I am thinking that my hard drive might fail soon. Its a 80gb maxtor, ata133. It takes longer to boot up windows and load the programs than before. Twice the time it took before. It makes a sound like an alternater is trying to turn over when its booting up windows. Once in windows it sounds fine and dows not run slow. Does all this mean it is going to fail?
I run the computer 24/7 seven months of the year when at college. I often run programs like video compression, audio and video conversion over night. The drives get a fiar amount of use. Should they last longer than this?
Should I be conserned that it might crash soon?
