re: Harddrive shuts off during large file reads Sunday, October 23, 2005 at 8:19 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Gernader8 (7 messages posted) Ever since I started this topic, my computer has been off, and I have been using my laptop. I wish thinking of what you said, C K. The games/programs I was using were somewhat harddrive intensive. So there would be alot of heat generated, causing the electronics to overheat. Currently I am unable to image or back up my master drive, untill my new drive comes in. So my computer will remain off until then. Once my new drive comes in, and I begin to image the drive, is it possible for my old drive to overheat and shut off on me? Currently there are two partitions I would have to copy off it. The first one contains the OS and some basic programs. Its is roughly 15 gigs. The other has the larger programs, games, etc on it, and is 110gigs. Do you think I can copy both without the drive locking up?
