Bios Page

On my Bios page one of my hard drives reads that I have an error. (It's in red)
and when I was trying to boot it up it said that there wasn't a boot program
so I had to boot it from my disc. and now it starts but it now shows
Degradable but bootable. the second hard drive still reads error.

this happen 3 days ago after the new updates came out. I am running Vista
Ultimate and XP SP2

What is going on?

If you're getting a disk error in the BIOS, this has nothing to do with
the operating system (Vista) or software updates. I'm not sure where
you're seeing "degradable but bootable" and if that in fact is the
actual text of the error message.

Download a diagnostic utility from the hard drive mftr.'s website. You
will create a bootable CD with the file you download. Boot with the
media you created and do a thorough test of the hard drive. If it fails
any physical tests, replace it.
