I'm tapping this one out on my 3DS right now. My PC is doing a very long dskchk on the 1TB HDD. The 60GB SSD has already been scanned and came up clean.
A short while ago my PC locked up. First it was only the web browser that stopped responding, then the task bar stopped working, then discord. I was forced to reboot.
The reboot stopped at an "I/O Error" with a STOP code, which is not good. In fact, it happened twice. I swapped the SATA cables for the SSD and HDD which restored the multi-boot menu. This is when I started scheduling disk checks.
Right now the HDD is reporting "bad clusters" in two folders during the fourth stage of the disk check. It is early in this stage at just12% of the way through and it already found bad clusters. Guess that means the HDD is failing and I should copy its good data to a blank drive.
I have a spare blank1TB HDD handy for this reason. But I have the feeling that the motherboard wouldn't throw an I/O error if a slave drive was having issues. Or would it? It does have a master boot record on it, but the SATA cable arrangement always loaded the SSD first until that error appeared. Curious.
Anyway, I'm forced onto my 3DS to post journals since I can't remember my FA password to get logged in on my Mother's computer across the room. I'm also unable to use Skype or Discord while I'm borrowing said computer.
Here's hoping the scan doesn't take all night. Heh.
EDIT: Now it is up to three bad clusters, one per file. Two of them are in Steam while the other is in PowerISO. It is at13% which does not compute since it has scanned 545k files out of 657392.
EDIT x2: Now it is up to 8 files, but it has moved on to stage 5 now and is at 20% progress.
