Right now I feel exactly like the second square, minus the joke and not having a band.

lol "backups". Nobody here has ever donwloaded an iso to use as a backup.

I downloaded Chrono Cross as a backup. My real copy was freezing at certain parts from damage.

Ok, my computer keep crashing every now and then showing blue screen and all. Then I won't be allowed inside Windows because of DISK READ FAILURE during POST. Pop in the XP disc and go through the repair console and I'm let inside again. That probably means the MBR is damaged by the HDD doing a faulty disc write. Which in turn could mean that the HDD is going to explode on me soon enough, right? ;O

I did the same with Resident Evil Zero, fortunately, it was just a meaningless cutscene that freezed the game, so I didn't needed the backup anyways.

chkdsk or scandisk maybe?

I did that some time ago and indeed, there were some problems. And it didn't matter how many times I ran chkdsk, the problems stayed there. I will probably have to switch HDD and do a format. :O

I could correct a few things in your post, but I'll just answer the question instead: Yes. Backup now.

Or replace the disk, sounds like it's about ready to give out on you.

Unless of course it's a corrupt partition. Which means you'll need to delete the partition and create a new one.

Please correct me. I'm not an expert at all.

Well, I dunno which to do. I'm probably gonna be able to get my hands on a relatively new disc in a week or two. Of course, I'm gonna format either way but do you think it's more likely to be a partition problem than a faulty disc? And FYI, I've ran a quick check using Seagate's HDD health tools and it reports the HDD as working correctly.

Too lazy, you pretty much got it anyways

Probably a partition, backup, delete, format. GOGOGOGO
