Thread: Hard drive issue


hey guys! if thread hopelessly misplaced, please tell me - couldn't find specific forum/subforum this...

laptop hard drive has started removing folders on own. started 1 or 2 less important folders retrieve backup, today *entire* 55gb music folder vanished, save 2 subfolders within it. disk usage tells me folder still there, because amount of space used on drive still same. sign telling me computer getting old? because i've had 2 , half years. i'm using dell inspiron 1545 ubuntu 10.10/vista dual-boot.

appreciate input!

old hard disks do, unfortunately, die-this possible reason randomly missing folders. can see if yours on last legs going disk utility program , running smart tests.
