Ok don't flame me, I bought a PC before I converted. Just wondering if I could get some help here.
It is a HP Windows 98 SE, and the hard drive is failing. The opening screenshot is a warning to backup my hard drive because failure is imminent. After starting up it runs a scandisk because it says it was not shut down properly, then it runs a surface scan and examines the drive clusters and locates the bad ones.
It gets to 53,334 examined out of 1,245,371 and stops. Some have been found to be bad and it wanted me to move the files to other clusters. It stops at 4% examined. How do I get this to continue or what else can I do? I tried to start in safe mode by holding F8 but it just creates a tone while I'm holding it down and does not progress.
I have some rare music on here that I really want to retain, most of it is Napster files back in the heyday. Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you.
