I was loading up a game the other night.(Counter-Strike:Source) and I noticed it was taking a long long time to finally load and connect to the server. I noticed even booting and loading regular applications were taking much longer than usual. So I did the usuall stuff. Defrag, check disk, etc. Still slow. So I start uninstalling apps I don't use. Still slow. So I cleaned up the registry with PowerTools. Still slow as molasses. Then I figured what the heck. Downloaded SeaTools and ran the through diagnostic. It's passing everything except the filesystem test. Only problem is there's no documentation to tell me what could be causing it to fail the file system test. Any help would be greatly appreciated. If you need anymore info please feel free to ask.

I've never had a hard drive with NTFS on it pass the seatools file system test so you're probably fine.

Maybe try using antivirus/spyware, or just do a reinstall of xp.
