Okay, I've gotten this error on my main computer, which is around 2 years old, and lately has been running very slowly.
Some history on the computer: for almost 2 of the 2 years I've had it and used it, it worked REALLY fast. Then, one day, the internet was not working. We tried everything, went to a store, and they suggested Reformating the drive. So we did. After that, things got a lot slower. Even though there were less files, it went slower.
Slowly, it got slower and slower, and eventually, one morning, I woke up to see this message:
I pressed F1, and it got to windows. Windows ran some sort of "quick-fix" program, and fixed it up, rebooted, and it worked fine!
The next day (today), computer shuts down in the middle of working, and comes up with the SAME message. Only this time, when you press F1, a screen comes up with a Windows message saying it shut down in the middle of work, and when it continues, while it's loading with the green bar dashing across the middle of the screen, all of a sudden it shuts down, and reboots again, coming up with the same error message.
My question to you, is is this possible to be fixed? If not, is it possible to at least get some data off of the hard-drive?
Thanks,
Knights
