Error Checking (chkdsk.exe).

3. Select both of these:
o Automatically fix file system errors
o Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors
Then click the Start button.
A message will popup.
[[The disk check could not be performed because the disk check utility needs
exclusive access to some Windows files on the disk. These files can be
accessed only by restarting Windows. Do you want to schedule this disk check
to occur the next time you restart the computer?]]
Click YES.
Then reboot.
You have to reboot for Error-checking to run.
