Can't run error checking

When I try to run Error-checking on a drive, my PC freezes during the
boot process. Any suggestions on fixing this problem?
 
Select Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Disk CleanUp to
Empty your Recycle Bin and Remove Temporary Internet Files. Also
select Start, All Programs, accessories, System Tools, Disk CleanUp,
More Options, System Restore and remove all but the latest System
Restore point. Try running Error Checker again.

If you get same problem look at the errors in the System log of Event
Viewer.

You can access Event Viewer by selecting Start, Administrative Tools,
Event Viewer.

A tip for posting copies of Error Reports! Run Event Viewer and double
click on the error you want to copy. In the window, which appears is a
button resembling two pages. Double click the button and close Event
Viewer. Now start your message (email) and do a paste into the body of
the message. This will paste the info from the Event Viewer Error Report
complete with links into the message. Make sure this is the first paste
after exiting from Event Viewer.

Try running HD Tune(freeware).

Download and run it and see what it turns up.
http://www.hdtune.com/

Select the Info tabs and place the cursor on the drive under Drive
letter and then double click the two page icon ( copy to Clipboard )
and copy into a further message.

Select the Health tab and then double click the two page icon ( copy
to Clipboard ) and copy into a further message. Also do a full surface
scan with HD Tune.

Hope this helps.

I have been reluctant to do this because it takes me hours to be able
to boot into Windows again. I'll try the HD Diagnostics first. If I
don't get an answer, I'll try this method. Thanks.........

Haven't got there yet - but I ran HD Tune and the only thing that could
be a problem is my average disk temp is 57C (which HD reports as
critical). But, I'm running a laptop. Mr drive is a Samsung HM120JC
and I can't find the diagnostic software for it.
