hi
My PC config : PIII 650 Mhz 128 MB RAM Zebronics Mobo (mobo is new - 3 months old ] Win XP Pro
PC age : 4-5 years old.
For a long time now I have noticed that PC is slow [ I have been ignoring it],
My 20 GB harddisk [ST320413a] has some creeky noise..
Also the CPU fan makes a lot of noise..
No virus/spyware has been found with norton/adaware etc.
There is no bad sector in HD.
I suspect that the slowness of my PC is due to hard disk & I am ready to get a new disk.
But I want to make sure that the cause is harddisk before I make the new HD purchase.
Is there anyway I can find that HD is faulty?any s/w?
