My Hard Drive is making some bad noises and I need to be able to
review or log the errors. I disabled a lot of services and I need to
know which services should be turned back on in order to Log/View the
Disk Errors.

If it's making bad noises, that's the only error log you really need.

If you can help or point me to some help I'd appreciate it.
Note:I've already consulted eldergeek and blackviper as well as about
20 other services guides. thanks

I wouldn't bother with services; you are wasting what little time the drive
has left. Get another drive and replace this one that is about to fail,
before it finally goes and takes your data with it.

Don't send it back for warranty (if it is under warranty) untill your data
is OFF of it. The manufacturer will throw your data away.

Best bet is to shut the drive down and remove it. Attach it to another
system that has enough space to clone the drive, then use the Acronis True
Image trial version to make an image. This may seem overkill, but it will
take the smallest amount of time and get all of the data. You can clone to
a new drive, which should get you up and running very quickly.
