Starting to occur more frequently then usual.
Also the last one had something to do with NTFS.sys or something like that.
Anyway to determine if it is a hardware problem.
Cheers for the help.

my hard disk is GPT partitioned for the benefit of Mac OS X and Linux. I recently created a new partition at the end of my hard disk but I can't seem to access it in Windows. Is there a way to get Windows to see the partition?
My hard disk currently looks like this:

Okay...I've seen several tutorials/info on dual booting, but usually it's only one hard drive. What I want to do is install 2 OS on 2 different HDDs.
My first idea was to install Debian and Win7 on the same 500GB HDD (which is now my secondary hard drive). But since then, I had taken it to the...

Folks,
OK, I've had enough of things I can't see. How for example, can I find and view all files
named "index.dat". If you enter this into the search bar, you won't find any, but I assure you, there are dozens on the typical system. And that's just the tip of the iceberg.
There're many...
