| I'm Evil  |  How To: Detect a Faulty Hard Drive and Recover Dat  Few hardware failures cause more headaches than a dead or dying hard drive. Other components, like videocards and RAM, result in lost time and inconvienence as you wait for your RMA to process, but when the replacement arrives, you're back up and running as if nothing happened. But when your HDD goes bad, you're not only looking at downtime, but lost data, like Word documents, emails, pictures and videos, saved game files, browser bookmarks, and that snazzy wallpaper that you can't remember where you downloaded it from. Fortunately, hard drives rarely conk out without any warning, giving you both a chance to detect impending failure, and to extract any important data that might not already be backed up.
