General troubleshooting from the console

Edit: I decided to change the topic of my post half way through, then forgot to change the actual topic... bah.

As a computer science major, all of my friends call on me whenever they have problems. Frankly, it gets kind of annoying, but I'm too nice to say no.

I'm not great with troubleshooting, but I'm not too shabby either. What I suggest is people post a general problem one might have, and various things to fix it, as well as request solutions to problems.

Computer doesn't boot:

chksdk, fixboot, fixmbr, knoppix (to get the data off if the hard drive is still good)

Cleaning out a system (improving general system performance)

Update of video drivers, running avg, ewido, and adaware, checking all currently loaded processes, checking the programs that startup

Things which I have had trouble working on in the past: network and hard drive seems to be acting slow.
