Hard Drive 'Lag'

anthonyk · 01-29-2008, 10:33 PM

Hi All,

Newcomer here, so be gentle.

I have a Sony Vaio VGN FZ18L, with Vista. Whenever I run de-frag, any anti-virus, check disk etc, my laptop freezes, reboots and asks me to run check disk. When I do run check disk, it does the freezing thing and we go round in circles.

Any help/guidance would be greatly appreciated in the form of an idiots guide for me...

Many Thanks,

Anthony

How old is the laptop? It sounds like you are having hard drive malfunctions... When i get things like that, the HD tends to give out a short time after..

does your laptop only freezing when you are trying to run the de-frag, anti virus, or check disk?
