Answer 1

your volume is your hard drive. it's referred to by a letter like c:/ or d:/ . the space on your hard drive is divided up into "clusters". those clusters are organized by the file system (fat,fat32, and NTFS) every byte of information on your computer is stored on those clusters. when a volume comes up dirty, it means a cluster is damaged. this could be from a scratch , or bit of dust/moisture, or even from wear&tear on the internal parts of your hard drive. this means when your cpu had difficulty accessing that byte of information on that particular spot on the drive, in turn, slowing down cpu performance. in order to remedy this, open "my computer", right click the icon representing the volume in question. select properties, the select the "tool"tab. select error checking, then checkmark the two options. click start. the pop-up screen might say the volume is unavailable, then ask if you want to schedual a disk check. select yes, then restart your computer.

Answer 3

There are maybe two problems

1. Your partitions that hold the data is broken or dirty that needed to be replace. There is a setup that should fixes it but I forgot. You could look in the System Utility that is on the Windows XP disc when booting on it. When you are in the System Utility, type in "Help" and press Enter for selection. Look for something that can fixes partition. MBR is not a good selection so avoid it unless you want to take risk.

2. Harddrive is failing. You will need to replace it.

Answer 4

I am a professional developer with Microsoft, and have about 10 years of experience in the field of Computer Engineering. Most problems with PC's are the result of malicious software that infected a Computer. Examples of this are things such as malware, viruses, trojans, spyware, adware, root kits, and worms. In other cases, they are the result of stability issues due to crashes, freezes, or Hardware Issues. Some examples of hardware issues could be a dirty cooling fan causing the computer to overheat, or low memory due to lack of RAM, which could cause the PC to run slowly. You may think it could be a virus, or malware, or registry issues, but it could be something else entirely. As a computer layman, one may find it hard to really ascertain what exactly is causing the problems, without having a professional do an in depth analysis of your PC.

As professional computer repairs can be quite costly, I would recommend to you a Software that many of us in the tech department here at Microsoft use personally and professionally to diagnose and repair computer problems very quickly. It is a software called Reimage, from https://reimagefix.im .. In my personal experience, and in the experience of many of my associates, this is probably the best software ever created for those experiencing computer troubles. This is likely to remedy just about ANY problem your computer could possibly be having, and have it running like new. Reimage has won several awards, and been featured in publications such as PC Mag.
