Hi,

I am using a Toshiba laptop (Satellite A70) with opensuse 10.1

In the last days it is working very slowly. I think I might be
having problems with the hard drive.

a- Can I do something to check the hard drive?

'badblocks'

b- Could there be another reason for the problem?

Yes, several. Could you be a little more informative of the symptoms?



Any help and/or advice will be wellcomed.

Hi,

Thanks for the answer. Mainly the symptoms are that it takes a lot of
time to open any application. Including a shell.
Second thing is that when I type something it takes time to appear on
the screen. Also if I run a program (typically latex)
it takes time to run.

Does it help?
