Troubleshooting Hard Drive Issues
If your hard drive is not full, then it may be possible that your hard drive is going bad, or that your OS is corrupted. In this case (or if the previous suggestions do not work), it is highly recommended that you contact the Support Central. It is also possible that you may need to change your partition sizes.
