Not sure if this is the correct place but ....I mentioned this elsewhere in someone elses thread that Win 7 was telling me my HD ( 4 months old Barracuda) was failing and I got the replacement yesterday so many thanks to PCSpecialist for that . I used Windows 7 Backup and Restore to an external drive and used a Repair Disc to return my system to "as before " state so can recommend that .It was ,as we say up here ,an absolute doddle...just the time it takes to do the backup,Scrub the old disc ( DriveScrubber) and then restore the system but at least you can go away and leave it do it .
I'm glad I didn't have to pay for a HD given the prices just now .
