True, this does not fix the problem but it lets you be aware of a problem.

Go to http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/ Download, burn, boot..... Lots of good diagnostic tools. FWIW, it found problems with on of my HD's on my laptop. However, I made the "mistake" of allowing the utility to fix the problem. It did fix the problem....for a while. But the HD was going bad...and it died while was on a trip. I relearned what I already knew. If a diagnostic finds HW problems....they are only going to get worse, not better.
