Wanting to test my old HDD for errors and make sure everything is running smoothly. It seems to me that the TuneUp utlities Disk Doctor's thorough analysis is the exact same thing as chkdsk, but I've never actually used it.
So can anyone tell me which is more reliable/better to use in checking for errors?
My main issue is that task manager claims my disk is running at 100% constantly - I tried turning off all the windows functions suggested in other posts here no tom's, but they had no effect. Also ran malware bytes, haven't ran avast yet, as I'm about to go to bed and checking the disc takes A LOT longer, so I'd like to do that while I'm asleep, and will run avast scan tomorow.
