In some cases, our system hangs or it becomes very slow to operate. This happens due to the errors in the hard disk. To resolve this we make use of the disk error checking software. How can one use this software?

If you think your drive has errors that cause your computer’s performance to become slow, try downloading PC Tools Performance Toolkit. Follow the instructions to download and unpack and then install it. Once installed, start PC Tools then go to “Recovery” tab and click “Repair Drives.” Select drive C among the list of drives and select “Surface Scan” in the options.
Check “Perform on reboot” then click “Start” and then “Continue.” Exit PC Tools then restart the computer to begin the test. After booting, click “Start,” “All Programs,” “Accessories” then right-click “Command Prompt” and select “Run as administrator” to launch an elevated command prompt. If you are using Windows XP, you don’t need to use the “Run as” option.
In the command prompt window, type without quotes “sfc /scannow” then hit Enter. If you are prompted to insert the Windows CD, insert your Windows setup CD on your optical drive then continue. The checking will take some time. When it is finished, restart your computer. If your machine is still slow, try optimizing Microsoft Windows. Start PC Tools then in “Dashboard” tab, click the “1-Click Optimization” button.
This should improve your machine’s performance.
