Sprog's Windows laptop is occasionally saying "I have to reboot - disk error"
I'd be running some smart monitoring tools on the disk and/or checking the connections, might be an early sign of imminent hardware failure?
Is that the actual error message or have you paraphrased it?
Moot at the moment, as I turned it on to look at the event log and try and find the error, & it went into a checkdisk that's been running for hours and has 3 hours ETA.
In my experience that means terminal disk error. :-( (well bad sectors it's trying to read and fix, but, basically replace the disk).
However, I was given a screenshot -
"Security & Maintenance
Restart to repair drive errors
Click to restart your PC"
That's it. :-(
