Hi - I have been having big problems with my computer for a few days. I think I finally have it narrowed down to my MyBook WD5000 (computer boots and runes fine with WD5000 disconnected). Then ran the WD Diagnostics that showed a failure in the Spin Up Time test. I’m pretty dumb about all this. I cant seem to find out if this is something that can be fixed, or is the drive shot (I can actually use it a bit, sometimes). I should mention that I may have screwed things up in the registry when I did a registry clean just when my problems started. Below are the pertinent test results. Appreciate any help in understanding this or a god resource to help me with this.
