Started by shark13 , Apr 22 2014 06:29 PM This topic is locked 9 replies to this topic #1 shark13 shark13 Members 43 posts OFFLINE Local time:12:50 AM Posted 22 April 2014 - 06:29 PM Hello, I awoke this morning to a box that appears to be from windows stating that my hard drive is about to fail and that I should back up my data immediately (done). After further research though it appears that there are also viruses that mimic this alert for different purposes. Is there a way we can scan/search my system and determine if my hard drive is really about to fail or whether I have a virus?

Windows Detected A Hard Disk Problem Backup Your Files Immediately
last couple days that have all had the same issues. They will all boot up to the "Loading Windows XP" screen, but will restart immediately after. If I run safe mode, they will stop http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/t/532013/hard-drive-fail-warning-or-virus/ around loading the mup driver, then will restart. Another tech I know of has said there is a virus/trojan circulating that has caused registry changes that will ultimately cause the hard drive to fail. Any inclinations or thoughts on this?

A virus/trojan cannot cause a HD failure. http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/237710-45-possible-virus-causing-hard-drive-failure Did you try booting from a Windows XP CD, starting a Recovery Console and running chkdsk c: /p/r until there were no errors? You could also try a Repair installation of Windows. Why does everyone think viruses/trojans cause every computer problem? Grumpy fixit10 1 July 2009 01:10:57 Virus can absolutely cause a software program to fail - The operating system is a software program. If the virus keeps chipping away at parts of the main core eventually it will cause a total failure. Also, if it inserts its own hooks it can prevent a repair or a reinstall without a full reformat. I have had several of these in the last few weeks and it is unrecoverable at this point. You can get your files by slaving the drive (sometimes) but the operating system is gone.
