1: Click Start, select Run

2: In the box, type cmd

3: Click Ok
4: type fsutil dirty query c:
or / AND
5: To run the chkdsk utility, type the following command:

chkdsk c:

...or

chkdsk c: /f /r

6: type Exit to finish

NOTE: The /f command automatically fixes any errors encountered, the /r command locates bad sectors and recovers readable information. I am also assuming the drive you wish to check is C
