Hi!

I would like some help with this, if possible:

I did the download of the Return of Wolfenstein multiplayer Demo and after
the instalation and the choose of a server to play, my hard disk began to
make some loud noises, something like if it was trying to write but with no
luck and this in repetitive cycles! The only way I could stop it was to do a
restart. In the scandisk, when it tries to do a surface test( only in the
surface test!) it stops somewhere in the midlle and begin to make the same
noise in repetitive cycles! No need to say that I can only get out of there
by doing a restart and ignoring the scandisk! I can´t see any bad sectors,
since it does not have time to mark them!

What happened to my hard disk? Is it damaged? Is there any way a game could
do this to a piece of hardware?
How can I mark this sectors (in the case of  the HD got damaged), so the
computer no more writes there?

Thank you very much!

José Rui.
