During post if you hit CTRL ALT D or F it will tell you if your drive is bad.

Hi All, The hard drive on my 3-month old Dell laptop seems to be really bogging down at times (WinXP Pro). When it lags a bit, I'll pop up Task Manager and look at CPU on all processes, but don't see anything. It does seem to be related to reading/wring files, listing large directories, etc. I thought I might find some counters in Perfmon that I could watch for read/write errors on the drive, but didn't see any. Any pointers for proactively assessing the health of the drive? (And yeah, I backed up immediately!)
