Windows 10: HDD failing?

Hi- I'd like to ask if the HDD C: drive in my 2013 Lenovo desktop is dying. Windows has frozen and required resetting twice in 3 months. After this last episode, restoring my backup from Norton 360 took 24 hours to transfer the first 10,000 files out of the 55,000 total via USB 2. Wish I had done some housecleaning...


Windows is fresh, since the first reset was with the Lenovo utility that returned it to v 8.1 and I downloaded the newest v 10. That restoration went fairly quickly.


And, will letting my drives run 24/7 for 5 days to restore everything kill the drives? Should I cancel, replace C: and try again?


Thank you!

:)

HDD Corrupt ?

Hi,

There are many possible reasons this issue is happening. We'd like to ask few questions below:

• What is the brand name of you Hard Disk Drive?
  
• How old is the HDD?
  

Since you already tried multiple troubleshooting steps, we suggest visiting the manufacturer's website. Find and download a hard drive diagnostic software to help resolve the issue.

Let us know how it goes.
