I just replaced the 100GB drive that came in my refurb Lenovo T61 laptop with a new Samsung 640GB 2.5" 9.5mm HD. Installed the OS on a 150GB partition, leaving the rest unallocated. I went into disc management (how the hell do you find it without asking Help to search for it??), and created the 2nd volume and Windows 7 opted to quick format it. I want to assure that the HD is AOK. How do I do this? Should I go in there and do a full format on the 2nd partition, or is there a better way to go about things? Should I do a full format and then run some kind of disc checking program? What would you do?
