neouser Posted May 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 well I am not using my PC right now as I will not start up...It is restarting while it is on the windows startup screen ("Welcome to windows") So I will not be able to test it now but if ever it says that my harddrive is not healthy what should I do?
