Hi folks.
Not sure which forum this topic should be in.
I have been archiving using Paragon's Drive Backup with no problems until
yesterday.
The backup stopped at approx 80% of completion and very shortly
thereafter Vista stopped working and I had to power-off to exit.
Two more attempts produced exactly the same outcome.
Ran ChkDsk which indicated no bad sectors.
Ran Western Digital Diagnostics which stopped scanning at approx 80% and
Vista ceasing to respond. The same behaviour as described above.
Tried alternative drive backup prog - same result as described above.
Unable to ascertain whether software or hardware problem.
Lots of hair on floor by desk.
Help/advice would be most welcome.
Thanks in advance.
