How much free space is on the hard drive? Defrag needs 15% to work. Or the hard drive may be failing. Test it with a diagnostic utility downloaded from the drive mftr.'s website or use Seagate's SeaTools For DOS. You will create a bootable CD with the file you download. You will need third-party burning software to do this such as Roxio, Nero, or the free ImgBurn. Burn as an image, not as data. http://www.imgburn.com http://www.seagate.com/www/en-us/support/downloads/seatools/seatooldreg http://seagate.custkb.com/seagate/crm/selfservice/search.jsp?DocId=201271 (how-to) Boot with the CD you made and do a thorough test of the drive. If it fails any physical tests, replace it. Otherwise, please explain what "computer is not working proper [sic]" entails and what you've already done so we can help you with further troubleshooting.MS-MVP - Elephant Boy Computers - Don't Panic!
