(Strange) Slowness

[disco]

Ok, last night my computer froze up and I shut it down like I always do when I freeze up, except this time when I when I turned it back on it sat at the windows loading screen for about 45 minutes before I finally got annoyed and turned it off again.  This time, instead of be tempted again and going in circles I decided to let it be and went to look for my windows disk so I could try and do that thing where you restore only the system files without actually formating. So, after looking and not finding my windows disk I come back to find that Windows is now loading normally.  I think everything is alright until I realize that pretty much everytime I either load more than one program at or open more than two tabs in firefox my computer locks up for anywhere from 30 seconds to a minute before it finishes loading things that it used to load with little to no lag.

After running chkdsk I know that something is definetly wrong:


Now, until I can find my windows disk I want to keep taking it to the shop at the bottom of my options list.  I've already tried a system restore and nothing happens.  Anyone have any ideas?

Looks like bad sectors on your drive

Know how I can fix them?  I know one involves diablo two because I accidentally clicked the icon for it and a little balloon came up in my systray saying it was unreadable.

D:\Documents and Settings\Rob>chkdsk /?
Checks a disk and displays a status report.


CHKDSK [volume[[path]filename]]] [/F] [/V] [/R] [/X] [/I] [/C] [/L[:size]]


  volume          Specifies the drive letter (followed by a colon),
                  mount point, or volume name.
  filename        FAT/FAT32 only: Specifies the files to check for fragmentation
.
  /F              Fixes errors on the disk.
  /V              On FAT/FAT32: Displays the full path and name of every file
                  on the disk.
                  On NTFS: Displays cleanup messages if any.
  /R              Locates bad sectors and recovers readable information
                  (implies /F).
  /L:size         NTFS only:  Changes the log file size to the specified number
                  of kilobytes.  If size is not specified, displays current
                  size.
  /X              Forces the volume to dismount first if necessary.
                  All opened handles to the volume would then be invalid
                  (implies /F).
  /I              NTFS only: Performs a less vigorous check of index entries.
  /C              NTFS only: Skips checking of cycles within the folder
                  structure.

The /I or /C switch reduces the amount of time required to run Chkdsk by
skipping certain checks of the volume.

D:\Documents and Settings\Rob>chkdsk /r
The type of the file system is NTFS.
Cannot lock current drive.

Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another
process.  Would you like to schedule this volume to be
checked the next time the system restarts? (Y/N)

Run chkdsk /r and specify yes, you'd like the volume to be checked.

I think segments of your files are unreadable
