Hello Stas!

True. Yes, integrated-circuits are best kept in cooler temps.   
Meanwhile, my HDD seems to settle at 32C for most of the time.

 AA>> Index verification completed.
 AA>> Errors found.  CHKDSK cannot continue in read-only mode.

Thx for the tip.

Meanwhile, CHKDSK C: /F /V /R did its magic successfully.

But I did a Cleanup and Defrag before that.

Now the T60 seems noticeably faster too.  The defrag was  
probably the most salient issue.  I don't recall the last time  
I even bothered to check defrag of the smaller C: partition.

The H: partition had no CHKDSK errors at all.
