838555 2009-12-10 22:20:00 What probs are you having, why youre using Hirens?? Have you actually tested the connections?? Is it IDE or SATA its talking about? Dont know if you should be asking about Hirens CD here. Isnt it full of warez? Speedy Gonzales (78)

The computer was slow, obviously with 256Mb ram, but I wanted to check if there was any other problems before I boosted up the ram. PC-Check offers a complete check of the computer components.

Have you actually tested the connections??
- not sure what you mean there - this is a notebook

Is it IDE or SATA its talking about? it is an ide hard drive
