This became bit of a long post with some non-hm related stuff in it but im really stuck so help is very aprreciated

I did a chkdsk which gave several (for me not understandable) messages but the problem persisted.

I also downloaded some other diagnostics tools but I know so little about these things that they didnt really help me. "Seatools" said the shortdrive test fails which ment there was a problem. " disc checkup" said everything is working fine.

Question 1: Do you know any other good diagnostic tool i should use?

Since i wanted to clean up my computer and maybe get windows 7 instead of vista anyways i made the following plan:

I'm going to load my hm archive files into a new empty database in my holdem manager on my laptop (just as i did on my desktop) and see if I get any problems there too.

Question 2: if I get similar problems on my laptop, can I conclude the problem is probably not hardware related?

If there are no problems on my laptop (concluding the problem is in my desktop) I'm going to format my desktop and reinstal windows (& hm obv)

Question 3: If the problem persists after formatting my computer, can i conclude it has to be hardware related? And if so, is it almost always the hard disk or could it also be the memory/graphics card or whatever?

Before formatting my computer, I copy my hm archive files to a usb, and also a backup of my exported files from my database.
Further more a backup of my exported notes and hud settings.

Question 4 Do I need to do anything else before formatting? (as in hm recognizing that i bought a pro version etc)
