[nflug] HD Scan

[Frank Kumro]

The disc fails defrag and when I use the native disc checker it didnt
fix the problem that the defrag has

Defrag said errors on disc run the check
Ran  the check and selected to fix all error
ran defrag again...same error

Horrible performance ... ive used her computer a couple times and
recently its just painful. No matter what any program takes >30sec to
load...just horrible. Want to make sure the disc isnt dieing...
