Hi again, Gerry:
I ran the HD Tune. Results copied below.
"(05) Reallocated Sector Count" is highlighted in yellow.
Not sure what to make of that. No damaged sectors found on scan.
Also: Temperature shown for HD ranges between 53-58C. I don't know if this
is serious or not. I had a new fan installed last sumer. But I know very
little about hardware. The temperature shifts are not abrupt. If this is a
serious concern, how would you suggest I go about addressing it? Is there a
simple procedure I can ask a technician to do or install to keep the
temperatures lower?
Is there a corresponding newsgroup to post to about this? Do the allowable
temperatures depend on the HD itself?
Mine is: IC35L080AVVA07-0 which I believe is manufactured by IBM.

Thanks again.
All that chkdsk found was some unused index entries. I'd like to run
the HD Tune porgram. But can you tell mehow it can be unistalled
after/or I no longer want to use it .
Thanks:

No you run Disk Defragmenter after running Disk CkeanUp and Chkdsk.
You might find HD Tune gives you a clearer picture of what is going
on. HD Tune only gives information and does not fix any problems.
Download and run it and see what it turns up.

Select the Info tabs and place the cursor on the drive under Drive
letter and then double click the two page icon ( copy to Clipboard )
and copy into a further message.
Select the Health tab and then double click the two page icon (
copy to Clipboard ) and copy into a further message. Make sure you
do a full surface scan with HD Tune.

Thanks Gerry.
Would running defrag cut down on the number of errors and/or make
the process of chkdsk go smoother?

Phase 4: Checking sectors
If the /R switch is in effect, CHKDSK runs a fourth pass to look
for bad sectors in the volume's free space. CHKDSK attempts to read
every sector on the volume to confirm that the sector is usable.
Even without the /R switch, CHKDSK always reads sectors that are
associated with metadata. Sectors that are associated with user
data are read during earlier phases of CHKDSK if the /R switch is
specified. When CHKDSK finds an unreadable sector, NTFS adds the
cluster that
contains that sector to its list of bad clusters. If the bad
cluster is in use, CHKDSK allocates a new cluster to do the job of the
bad
cluster. If you are using a fault-tolerant disk, NTFS recovers the
bad cluster's data and writes the data to the newly allocated
cluster. Otherwise, the new cluster is filled with a pattern of
0xFF bytes. If NTFS encounters unreadable sectors during the
course of normal operation, NTFS remaps the sectors in the same
way that it does when CHKDSK runs. Therefore, using the /R switch
is usually not essential. However, using the /R switch is a
convenient way to scan the entire volume if you suspect that a
disk might have bad sectors. Source:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314835
Dealing with a bad sector can take a long time so extreme patience
is the order of the day. If chkdsk deals with bad sectors you need
to run chkdsk a day or so later to confirm that there are now no
more. If there are more you should replace the hard disk.
Before running chkdsk it helps to run Disk CleanUp.

Hello:
I tried running the check disc application from My
Computer--Properties-->Tools-->Error-checking.
It ran slow and only completed 3 of 4 phases of checking.
I got a message from wimdows that Wimdows could not complete the
check.
I tried in Safe Mode as well. Didnt complete
Why is that?
TIA

Is there another way to run such a check
.
