Hi,
I'm having something going on with my hard drive and was wondering if 
you could tell me what to do about it.  Saturday I uninstalled Microsoft 
office and then attempted to reinstall it.  It gave me an error and said 
that one of the installation files was already on my hard drive.  So per 
Microsoft I renamed the old file and installation proceeded normally.  I 
ran my Saturday maintence of spybot/windows update/etc. and then I 
defragged.  Thats when it came up with a 3.33 gb fragment.  It also 
showed that there were 29 other fragments of various sizes.  The 
computer during this time slowed to a crawl.  So today I thought I would 
rerun defragmenter and the results were that it gave me one huge 
fragment of 3.34 gb of owner\application.  I restarted and tried to run 
scan disk and it took 2 seconds and booted into windows.  Any ideas of 
what is going on here?  Suggestions on what to try?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Regina Long
