Whats up man thanks for taking my problem. Heres the thing I Did the Prefetch step and all was fine. The defragment went smoothly but as soon as i Selected the items to be disk cleaned and pressed ok it froze up on me again so i was unable to continue the Process. I will attempt again. Once again thanks for taking my problem.

Skip sfc and run chkdsk /f /r
You would need to check with e-machines to see what their recovery disc is capable of

"After the reboot, click optimize then system optimizer to optimize the computer, select computer with an internet connection from the drop down menu, this also requires a reboot"
Do you mean the Tune up System optimizer.

What's up guys,
I did what both you guys said I followed each of you guys rules and i disk cleaned for the first time without it freezing up on me I'm not quite sure which program did it but the tag team between both of you i really appreciate. So thank you to Keith and rushin1nd for working together to help me. I hope my computer doesn't act up again. But if it does I'll know where to come. Once again thanks to both of you.
sincerely,
Julian
