    If it is a software problem:



    1)start>run msconfig
    2)services
    3)(now what you have to do is unclick the boxes that have 'unknown' next to them and leave the rest that have 'microsoft'...others will be like 'symante'etc.
    4)restart your computer.
    5) Should fix the problem.



    If it's a hardware problem:Other than cleaning.I don't Know.

    Anubis, I believe you have a bad drive. I know you didn't want to hear it, but there you are. A new drive will run about $100.
