Open your My Computer, right click your main drive, Mine
is C:, click the tools tab and there should be your check
disk tool. If not there I don't know. good luck

Double-click My Computer/right-click the drive in question/click on
Properties/click the Tools Tab/Error Checking is really chkdsk and will tell
you that it will run on the next reboot.

Robert;
Start | Run |type: cmd | OK Type: chkdsk /? | hit ENTER

chkdsk C: /r
check disk runs on C drive on reboot

He already tried running from the cmd window.

My guess is that your path environment variable doesn't include the
directory where chkdsk is located. IOW, it's there, but without
knowing where it is, the computer tries to find it using the defaults
found in PATH. If it's not in any of those folders, you get the "not
found" message.

If you are going to criticize me. Get it right. chkdsk C: \r ;o)
Did you notice anything incorrect with my command?? Maybe it should be: chkdsk
C: /r
That looks better to me. )

I stand by my original statement. I didn't criticize your command
syntax; in fact I didn't even notice it until your response. I merely
stated he already tried running it from the command line interface
window.
