What sort of stuff has it been doing? Try running CHKDSK from the run box on the start menu, that should perform some basic checks for you :)
 
Go to the manufacturer's website and download their diagnostic software, most makers supply some.

Then run it, that should show up any probs.

Alternatively, download The Ultimate Boot Disk. That has all disk diagnostic facilities on it.
 
well when i try to defrag it says to run chkdisk i run it and it finds no errors then i try to defrag again it says the same thing its driving me nuts i just got it a few weeks ago too
 
What makes you think there is anything wrong with it?
 
darn thing was bad got a replacement 400 gig is hard to find now all i need is 250 gig more to max out my system they way i want it
