It's a PC. Laptop, though. And I ran a full HDD diagnostic. Built into BIOS, actually, which is kind of neat.
Seems like it's more a case of Windows coming unraveled. I'm also starting to have icons fail to show up in the system tray, which is what happened with my last laptop. Oh, and the virus scanner is acting a little odd. But the scans all show clean, so I'm thinking it's an install issue.
Luckily, I've got a fairly recent system backup, if it comes to that. But I think the next step will be to try to run a repair installation from the Windows system CD. Hopefully, that'll fix things. Without messing up anything else...
