To manually check the state of your HD, at the Command Prompt type :
fsutil dirty query c:
The response should be Volume - c: is NOT Dirty
Manually running the chkdsk command to check for problems.
1: Click Start, select Run
2: In the box, type cmd
3: Click Ok
4: Run chkdsk by typing in the following:
chkdsk c:
or
chkdsk c: /f /r
NOTE: The /f command automatically fixes any errors encountered, the /r command
locates bad sectors and recovers readable information.
A reboot is normally required for chkdsk to run correctly.
Restart the computer, chkdsk will run automatically.
