Cannot run chkdsk from My Computer
I did a search on chkdsk and found it...clicked on it and black window (like
the old dos window) came up stating chkdsk is in read-only mode.
Then it did some kind of scan...several scans...and window went away.
How do I get around this and run chkdsk from My Computer?
Thanks a million!!!

Click to expand...

In Windows Explorer, right-click the C drive, click PROPERTIES|TOOLS tab
and then the ERROR CHECKING button. A check will be scheduled for next boot.
