hard disk utilities hi to all you pc gurus i m new to these groups and so please forgive me if my questions are frequently asked but i don t know the answer i ve been recently having some problems with my computer with a seagate meg hard drive i occasionally find corrupted files but most of the time programs work fine are there any utilities that are easily available that can help me determine whether or not the problem is a result of the hard drive vs an ill behaved program or some other hardware item are there utilites to determine whether or not the hard drive is properly aligned etc as might be expected i would greatly appreciate any help on this matter i m considering just reformatting the disk and reinstalling everything and hoping that will fix the problem but i would like to have some assurance of what the problem cause is also can someone give me an opinion on dos are the compression and defragmentation routines good enough to consider the upgrade if i don t have those routines already as opposed to buying them separately much thanks in advance for any help mitchel soltys soltys radonc unc edu
