Doing a defrag using System Mechanic Professional 5.5 and get a message to the effect of "could not complete defrag as hard drive may have damage. Do a CHKDSK/f in DOS to fix or repair hard drive".
I did the CHDSK/F and got no message to the effect of any damage.
Went to this site: http://www.hitachigst.com/hdd/support/download.htm
and downloaded DFT "Drive Fitness Test" onto a floppy. Upon a reboot, the test was done in DOS and after completion, there was no diagnostic indicating anything at fault.
I have Windows XP, and find the computer can be quite slow at times, even after defrag, adaware Pro adaware scan, and AVG Pro 7 virus scan, and Spybot.
Any other diagnosis that was missed?
