perform a surface scan using check-disk.
(on XP it will only do this when your system reboots)
from RUN, type CMD (then enter)
at C:\>_ type: "chkdsk c: /f"
then press Y (yes) to perform at reboot.
reboot your computer and it will perform a full check-disk
(it will take quite some time) once rebooted, if the chkdsk program sorts all problems, defrag should work...

Are you having problems with your hard drive or with Windows? If it is the hard drive, you should be able to go to the manufacturer's website and get a drive fitness test for it. If it is Windows, research BartPE on Google. It walks you through setting up a CD to boot to. You can then run checkdisk from there. Good luck.

You may have spyware, run a spyware programme.
Counterspy is a good one and is free for 14 days, so use that. If not go into your pc settings and make sure you have enough memory to run it, as you need a certain amount of memory to run it.

Defraging doesn't involve Errors....... it only moves filefragemts around on the hard drive grouping them better. (leaving more continous open space)
