Question

I think some bed sectors are on my hard disk. Because my is very slow and some time it was hang. Therefore I think that some bed sectors are on my hard disk. kindly advise me how can I fix the bed sectors.

Answer 1

For bad sectors:

open My Computer
right-click on C
cl Properties
cl Tools
run an error check

To remedy slow:

1. Set wallpaper and screensavers to blank or none — they run continuously in the background and use memory.
-----right-click on the desktop, select Properties
-----click the screensaver tab, on the left where it says "screensaver," select none.
-----click the desktop tab, for background, select none
2. Review your start menu – remove anything you don’t need on a daily basis — load games, etc. on an as-needed basis.
-----click Start, Settings, Taskbar and Start Menu
-----click the Start Menu tab
-----select a program you do not want to load at Startup, then click remove.
-----Caution -- do not touch anything you are not sure of or you will mess up your computer royally.
3. From Internet Explorer, click Tools, Internet Options: delete cookies, delete files (offline), and clear history. (You can also set days to store history to 0.)
----- These actions will clear your computer’s cache. (For a description of cache, go to http://help.yahoo.com/l/ph/yahoo/mail/access/access-27210.html )
4. Run Disk Cleanup, Scandisk, Defrag at least every two weeks (the more frequently they are run, the less time they take).
-----These can be found in Start, Programs, Accessories, System Tools.
5. Periodically, click Start, Programs, Run — then type ipconfig renew
(that’s ipconfig space renew).
6. Optional: Speed vs Goodies — in the Control Panel, System, Advanced, Performance, Settings — you can have visual effects or let Windows select the best options. I am using “Best Performance.” Your choice.
These things should increase speed and free up memory as much as possible.

U cannot fix BAD sectors ( not such thing as bed sectors)

You can run CHKDSK I think with the /F option and the /S (but do a /? to check) to do a surface scan and mark bad sectors as ones NOT to be used.

Go to My Computer and rgiht click on hard drive.
Select Properties.
In the General Tab, click on Disk Cleanup
Then click on the Tools Tab and click Check Now under Error-checking, then Defragment Now under Defragmentation.
