You can use the Error-checking tool to check for file system errors and bad sectors on your hard disk.

1 Select the local disk you want to check

2 On the File menu, click Properties

3 On the Tools tab, under Error-checking, click Check Now

4 Under Check disk options, select the Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors check box

After the bad sectors have been located and fix, your system should start to run faster.
