Hands stop appearing in report + problem exporting hands

I cant help on what are the best type of tools, maybe you know a friend or someone thats handy with computers that could take a look at it for you and determine if the hard drive is faulty.

It may be a corrupt database, it may be a combination of software on your PC thats causing it and also if you shutdown your power without shutting down windows correctly via the PC it can also mess up the database.

Speaking from experience from someone who datamines a lot, plays a lot, tests pre-releases before theyre released to the public which obviously are more prone to bugs etc and still i think ive only had 1 corrupt database in 2 years so HM and postgreSQL are quite stable and if your getting issues this regularly then something appears to be wrong other than HM

-1 chkdsk is showing problems?---> FORMAT C:/ (don't quickformat) and start making a proper montly backup of your documents/pictures/HoldemManager settings and SQL database.

-2 If you use the latest HM + SQL, and your database doesn't corrupt (due to computer crashes/power failure) you won't have any problems on the laptop.

-3 It's probably the desktop harddisk which has a couple of corrupt clusters---> corrupting the SQL database. Buy a new harddisk for it, if the problem returns after the clean install + format.
Memory/CPU/PSU can indirectly have something to do with your problem if they're the one causing system crashes.

-4 also backup your original handhistories, bonus/rakeback settings, and export your SNG/MTT results if you play those on Stars.
