you can run it from
safeboot mode as well.
however, the absolute best
way is to run it from
the recovery console
at the c prompt.
if you havn't done this
before, you might want
to use the chkdsk /r option.
this will take longer but
it should be done at least
once in the lifetime of a harddrive.

I have run chkdsk on c prompt and it says errors found chkdsk cannot run on
read only mode. How can I repair the errors or run chkdsk not in read only
mode?
My experience: if I run chkdsk from command prompt on the drive where
windows is installed, it will often show the type of error you are
reporting. I have been told that is because the chkdsk command must
have interrupted some disk-writing operation. If I repeat chkdsk once
or twice, the error message is no longer seen. IOW, the error message
when chkdsk is run from command prompt is often a false alarm.
