    Hi, I have a problem with my disk, I got all kind of disk errors in windows, and scandisk somehow managed to partly get rid of them, but the system is very slow and it happened to me also about month ago when I got some disk errors and then blue screen, and again scandisk repair it and it was ok until now, but the really annoying thing is that Smart data and all kind of disk test programs says that the disk is "OK". What can be wrong? Can I claim the disk even when there is apparently no bad sector in smart data? /Lenovo T520 ¾ year old/
    Btw. Thank god for linux on usb drive.

    Thanks for reading, I hope somebody have some experience with this, I appreciate your help.

    Libco.

    Can you access Windows using Safe Mode? If you can and everything looks fine then most likely the Windows OS may have corrupted itself somewhere. You can try reinstalling the OS to see if that solves the problem. If it doesn't then you may have a good case of a bad drive which should be covered under warranty given its age.
