vista and bad hard drive warning?

[Briansol]

is this a common vista thing? it's popped up a couple times on me...

my system seems fine...

My gf has a toshiba laptop with Vista, and its had booting problems and required "restoring." Problem 3-4 times since May.

Anyway, run a chkdsk and an hdd monitoring program to see. doesnt hurt to be thorough.

ran chkdisk

4.5 hours later, no errors


i still have all my docs on my laptop anyway, so if it crashes, it crashes... no big deal.

my friend meghan had that on her HP since day 1 with Vista... It CONSTANTLY begged her to do backups for various reasons... Even AFTER she did them it would STILL ask for them... yeah... i disabled that...

yeah vista displays too many "warning." UAC FTL.

my gf is techy illiterate except for going on the web, burning media, etc.. but she even thinks vista sucks.

 

[Briansol]

my UAC is off, which is why this message got me a little 'worried'.

it hasn't come back up since i did the chkdisk, so who knows...


i'm really not too hapyp with vista.

I'm installing VMware as we speak to get an xp instance up. i can't get the cisco vpn client to work with vista.
