I had to wipe my entire drive earlier today. I lost over 100Gb of music and pictures and everything! 
Everytime I kept starting the Laptop up it would come onto the desktop no probs. But trying to access a folder or Windows Media Player or anything else was a nightmare. It felt like it was taking it's time to even attempt to access anything I tried to access. Then when it did it just sat there for ages with the little circle spinning on the screen as if it was attempting to open what it was. This only started a few days ago (well close to a week more like). I've no idea what caused it or anything.
I tried system repair and disc check to see if anything came up. Either nothing came up or it crashed in the middle of accessing the repair setup. So I opted (with a broken heart of sorts) to full destructive recovery as my last option. I had no where left to turn all other options I could think of or had were used up.
And here I am back on with the laptop but at a loss of over 105Gb of stuff.
