Answer:
Using CHKDSK to Fix Your Hard Drive Issues

Step 1 : Understand your problem. In a Windows-based file system, a cluster is a block of storage space that is not listed as free, but is not assigned to any file, either. In other words, the file system has marked the cluster to not be overwritten, but it doesn't know why. This does not necessarily indicate any problems with the hard drive itself. Usually, lost or bad clusters are the result of improper program terminations, like those due to power loss or shutting off a computer without closing the applications first.

Step 2 : Open a command prompt or DOS prompt. Depending on which version of Windows you are using, there are multiple ways to run the CHKDSK utility. The method that works across most versions is to run it via the command line.

Step 3 : Type "chkdsk /r" in your command prompt window. This tells the computer to run the CHKDSK utility and to repair any errors it finds. Your may need to reboot your computer to run the chkdsk utility.

Step 4 : Wait for the utility to finish. Unless you begin seeing errors on the screen right away, it is probably in your best interest to go do something else while your computer checks the drive. The process can take hours, so there is not need to sit and stare at the screen.

Step 5 : Reboot. After the utility has finished, reboot your system to start the operating system normally. Your lost clusters will be saved as files named with the convention: file####.chkThe data in such files is usually worthless. However, you may be able to analyze the files and recover some data if it is critical.

you should go and change your HDD using 1-to-1 with the place you bought it.

if you have a huge wad of cash, pm sniperontheroof. he's in taiwan and can get access to OEM via proc

btw, VIA sucks big time. stupid underpowered processor. dunno why you still want it even though there are many reviews against it
correction: the reso should be 1680x1050

your 3870 should be able to support high setting for NFS, but not necessarily in that high native resolution

NFS is not a high end game. crysis is

amd or intel, whichever one is fine. a rig with the purpose of torrenting and gaming. budget about rm1800 including lcd panel. i already suggested acer x193hq to him cos im using the lcd and so far it's quite good, pretty cheap too. the rig only need mobo, proc, 2gb ram, gc, dvd. no soundcard needed. i dont think i'll be having prob with the specs. hmm, i thought of the lanparty bag as well and suggested that to him too, but we'll consider that as plan B cos the rig is still pretty heavy and big. maybe a mini-tower would do. i'll try and ask him. thanks bro!
