When I realised that full-blown corruptions (sometimes of of entire folders) are happening on not just the HDD that I store games on, but also the HDD that stores Windows. This computer's old and my next one will have SDDs but I've decided I want to make the most out of this computer since it still runs games very well, and I'll go to the computer store to buy a new one once it inevitably bricks itself.
You are aware you can just replace the drives right?
Yes, I am aware. Several components are also ageing so I'd rather spare the hassle and just buy a new one for a fresh start.
