You can solve some computer problems and improve the performance of your
computer by making sure that your hard disk has no errors.
1. Left Click on Start Icon / Left Click on Computer.
2.
Right-click the hard disk that you want to check, and then click
Properties.
3.
Click the Tools tab, and then, under Error-checking, click Check
now. If you are prompted for an administrator password or
confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
To automatically repair problems with files and folders that the
scan detects, select Automatically fix file system errors.
Otherwise, the disk check will report problems but not fix them.
To perform a thorough disk check, select Scan for and attempt
recovery of bad sectors. This scan attempts to find and repair
physical errors on the hard disk itself, and it can take much
longer to complete.
To check for both file errors and physical errors, select both
Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt
recovery of bad sectors.
4.
Click Start.
Depending on the size of your hard disk, this might take several
minutes. For best results, don't use your computer for any other tasks
while it is checking for errors.
Note
*
If you select Automatically fix file system errors for a disk that
is in use you'll be prompted to reschedule the disk check for the
next time you restart your computer.
