Disk (solid state) ordered. I took the opportunity! It will arrive tomorrow. Hesitating between a clean windows install (and reinstall a lot of apps) or just a copy of my current drive (problems are not solved, but it's still working). |

Or anything else by Sturgeon, for that matter :-)
ETA: Uncle Fremmis is in "Sturgeon is Alive and Well", a collection published in 1971

I had a Mac Quadra 840av with a hard drive suffering from "stiction" -- to get it to boot up I'd have to give it a good whack on the side ... |
Sounds like what Penny has to do to me every morning to get MY system booted up :-) |

Good news. It's always better to be able to shop around than to do an emergency repair/restore. Better to do percussive maintenance with the appropriate tool, too!! |

Lol, I didn't follow one advice ( "Keep calm" ) . Gave a good kick to that stupid thing after a few hours. It jumped to 100% complete and I'm up and running again (at least for now). But perhaps it's time to buy a new disk... |

OS: Windows 10 Professional
Symptom: System automatically reboots several times a day
Event log: There seems to be bad blocks on my system disk
Solution: Run chkdsk /r
Current status: It keeps saying "Scanning and repairing drive (C:): 11% complete"
Lots of answers on the internet, but it's hard to judge which one is right.
Any one here who can give me some advice/clues what to do now?
BTW. I'm not worrying about my photos. They're on another disk and well backuped.
I think that's good, but I need a working system to access them and all my software is on the system disk
Best advice I found until now: Take a drink, let it run, get some sleep and have a fresh look in the morning ;)
