Warning signs are all around us. Sometimes we choose to ignore them.But doing that comes with risks. I had one with a computer last week that I ignored for a while. It was a warning that I had a problem on a hard disk which could lead to a hard disk failure. I did some research online and was told that the risk was probably exaggerated so I ignored it. Yesterday the worst happened and the hard drive failed. I let it sit overnight and this morning it is working again, but not for long. I am following recommendations to make a complete image backup and when that is complete I will install the new hard drive that the manufacturer sent as a no charge replacement.
We see warning signs all around us every day, not just with computers. Sometimes it is an issue with our health, or a warning light on a car, or any one of a variety of situations. After my experience with this computer I am going to be more alert to warning signs because I know they are there for a reason.
