Dying HDD..?
Note: Western Digital Brand Hardrive >_______>. Some people might recall me saying I'd never buy one ever again. Well when this computer was built by MSI, I wasn't aware of the brand HDD type until after I got it to my house.
But I wanna make sure before assuming it's dying. The symptoms..to the best I can describe.. It makes those sounds like its processing as usual, except it's loud and irregular. Like it's "struggling". Also there is a online game that causes my computer to reboot on logout, and I'm not sure if thats linked to the problem. When each time I turn my computer on, I lose some drive space. The biggest was 7 gigs. Now yesterday was 20.8GB and today it's 20.9..yea going in reverse. I haven't downloaded anything. As for whats being deleted, I don't know. Maybe its just reporting the amount wrong. I ran a diagnostic and it deosn't help much because it passes the test. No bad sectors(I'm using a seagate program which can test non-seagate brands). In light of this, I moved all my important stuff to my secondary. Jam it back in, in the dark.

SMART was disabled on my drive, so I went into the bios and enabled it. I don't need to defrag yet according to the report I ran for it. I don't know how to check for the reallocated sector count.
Oh I figured out how. I'll see how it goes. Ok it didn't tell me anything. This is becoming irritating. I mean damn, everytime I shut my computer down and reboot the next day, the volume count is either lesser or greater from the last. There's nowhere I can't reach.

When I meant volume, I meant space. I downloaded Speedfan. Heres the results.
Your hard disk is a WDC WD800JD-75MSA3 with firmware 10.01E04. The average temperature for this hard disk is 36C (MIN=25C MAX=50C) and yours is 33C. Your hard disk's S.M.A.R.T. attributes are now being analyzed and a full report about the reliability, health and status of your hard disk is generated: Your hard disk is not below any attribute threshold. This is good. Your hard disk was never below any attribute threshold. This is good. Your hard disk is now being compared to real data used to define normal values for your specific hard disk model. This way, the analysis can automatically use proper operating ranges. The images give you an idea of how each attribute is within such range. Current and raw values are shown for easier reference for experienced users. There are 1742 hard disk models in the current archive.
The overall fitness for this drive is 97%. The overall performance for this drive is 100%. No pending sectors. Now I'm confused. Maybe its nothing. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
