Hdd Health Is Bad

muaausa · 01-25-2008, 04:48 PM

I've been searching everywhere, even HDD Vendor for Hitachi - HDS722580VLAT20 but cannot seem to find a HDD diagnostic utility.

All my windows are taking forever to open up especially Internet Explorer.

can someone help?

thanks,

Hi,
Welcome to TSF
Try this link:

Drive fitness test is what you are looking for (I think)
Also, Have you run An Antivirus and Spyware program?
What is the make and model of this PC?
How much memory are you using?
You may need to do this:

But we will checkout the basics first.

Also:
Defragment the drive. Try this program: Auslogics Disk Defrag

I updated software & everthing I could think of, run Malware & Adware everyday & also defragged, but seems to get worse.....?
I'm running on a Microstar Intel with 1024RAM.

I'll try out the malware removal help & see how it goes.
