Always run a chkdsk first!. Attempts to defrag a problematic disk will only make bad matters worse. Check with such people as GRC.com (Steve Gibson is the author of SPINRITE which is a marvelous disk checker/restorer/and more.)
If there is still doubt in your mind, then I recommend going to the websites of the various hard disk manufacturers. |

I met Steve Gibson years ago and while he may seem a little alarmist, he really knows what he is talking about. Spinrite is an excellent program and well worth the money. As to which defragger to use - I have found Ultimate Defrag to be without peer. Best display of fragmentation status ever. |

Now let Defraggler run and do not interrupt - let it run to completion. Personally, I use CONTIG.EXE in the SysInternalsSuite. This sound crazy but I: Start > CMD > CD C:/ > Contig -v Enter, ???? Profit. Takes forever (750 Gbs) Do this weekly and I have a healthy baby PC  Matt~ |
