The other day my laptop was taking an unusually long time to do anything, with the HDD light remaining lit up almost constantly. Checking Task Manager showed nothing eating up CPU, but the Event Log was reporting several dozen disk errors. So I run chkdsk and the results seem to contradict all those little red X's in the Event Log.

Zero bad sectors, but there are those 207 unused index entry things and the free space marked as allocated. Could those have been reported as disk errors? The drive status in Disk Management reports as healthy too.
