NTFS.sys.

Sounds like something is wrong with your hard drive. But that's just me.

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

If you boot off Slackware disk 2, you should be able to run dmesg.

Okay - I'll try that tonight before I go to bed (since I want to use my computer until then). Thanks!

That's what I thought too. I'm looking into replacing it soon (as I mentioned before).

Any suggestions? I'm probably going to go Western Digital if there are none.

i have a Western Digital hard drive and its held up good for me for a year now. It hasn't been turned off since the day I got it, other then the occasional restart.

Damnit, Newby beat me to it!

Yeah, to me it looks like a problem with your hard-drive..
Can we get computer specs (and links if possible) of your parts?

I've had nothing but bad luck with Western Digital.

I say go for a Barracuda. Maxtor is pretty good too.

WD has always been nothing but nice to me. So has maxtor. Actually, come to think of it, I've never had a harddrive problem in my life. But anyway, I'm thinking about buying a new harddrive for one of my computers, maybe the server. So yeah, suggestions. :) Those 74GB Raptors are nice.  :P
It is good to be good, but it is better to be lucky.

Too lazy to post links, but here's basically what I'm using:

AMD 64 3400+ Processor
Asus KN8-E Delux Motherboard
Nvidia XFX 6800 GT Video Card (AGP)
Western Digital 120GB SATA (7,200 RPM)

Everything else I use is likely moot/onboard.

Don't listen to War, he's crazy. :P

Odd. Your HD seems fine to me. You MIGHT need to buy a new one if that one is somehow scrapped. Try switching your HD's if you have 2+. Make another one C:\ and see if you get that problem still.

WoW is buggy enough on windows, I don't want to know how bad it would be on another OS. :P (I've heard WoW is hell on MacOS, but then again, what isn't?)

Apparently it runs under wine as well as it runs under Windows, once you get it going.

Hrm, interesting.

If I had any reason to switch to linux, I might think about it. :P
