open up my computer .right click on your hard drive should be c go to properties choose tools. there should be something that says error checking. click that its basicly scan disk. i believe it will tell you to reboot, because xp cant go in to dos unless in the boot . and when you reboot it will check for errors. and PS i never had a problem with norton 2003 with xp

ive never done a disk cleen in xp. it does take a long time... wow. i just del the files myself. look around in documents and setting/yourusername/ . you can clear temp flies in there as well as temp internet. temp and temp interntet are under /docs and setting/youruser/local settings/. im pretty sure disk clean removes those files. dont delete the directories just the stuff in them.

You should give the disk a format every once in a while for good measure. I believe that you can clean the registry as much as you want, but stuff still lays around in there that slows you down.

Here's what I would do:

1) Use Scandisk at startup to scan for bad sectors.

2) Defrag the drive

3) "cupcake" or get Norton Systemworks, and use CleanSweep.
