I recently had a problem with a hitch hicker, after dealing with the main problem I was left with a couple of small problems which I've been able to track down. A friend suggested that I try "System Mechanic 5" to run down the remaining problems, I did, and while defragmenting, the SM5 stoped to explain that it could not finish because of a problem section of the hard drive. No explanation...jut that. Is there any way to check the HD?

could you possibly let us know what the brand name and model number of the drive is?
There are tools available for download on the manufacturer website which are better for checking drives than the ones included with Windows. We can point you in the right direction …

Check the Support section (you'll need to indicate your location) and from the Software Downloads section get the diagnostic utility PowerMax. Further information about it is on their website.
