In most cases it is found that hard disk is often full by videos or graphics or software etc. In home we do know how the disk works... we have purchased it because computer needs a hard disk and we need a space. 

Disk's working capacity is extremely good than any other hardware of computer but it needs care.

If your computer is suffered from disk crashes and you want to save the disk then there is an inbuilt utility in Windows XP that can make you happy keeping apart from disk errors.
The Utility is Check Disk Utility.
