How to Check Harddisks for Errors

Asked By Jermaine Morrison 0 points N/A Posted on - 02/10/2013

Hi,

Recently I found my laptop very slow. I am afraid that there may be some significant corrupted files on my hard disk.

I need to know whether the error checker option of desktop PC will work for me or not?

My laptop configuration is Intel Celeron, 320 GB HDD.

Thanks.
