Sounds like the hard drive is starting to go. Is it
making any
noise?
No nothing abnormal at all. Actually I have two 500Gb SATA drives in
this machine. The primary one has a 25Gb root partition with the
rest as "Home" and the other HDD as backup.
Based on your comment I will copy the latest backup onto a DVD and DD
the primary drive to the secondary one, then make it the boot drive.
I'll report back.
Thanks:
