Hard drive error

Hi, Im using windows XP home edition right now. Couple of weeks ago I started using torrent. When I diagnose the computer using system mechanic professional. It says "error is detected in ur hard drive".

Starting from that point, my transfer speed for file (e.g. copy files, deleting files to the recycle bin) is really slow. Slower than the normal speed. Any idea what happen to my hard drive?

Could just be a high level of fragmentation, i.e your drive is heavily fragmented, System Mechanic will usually resolve this for you.

Are you using SM6 or SM7? Depending on the size of your drive it may take several hours to run. Personally I've found it better to run windows defrag fully then SM, as the SM defrag doesn't seem thorough enough and a bit to quick for my liking. SM as a whole is still a very powerful tool though.

Hope this helps,

System Mechanic, Options. Is Restore/Undo changes one of those? Hit it.
