You can help solve some computer problems and improve the performance of your computer by making sure that your hard disk drive has no errors.
to do this you need to perform a
disk check, which scans your hard drive for bad sectors and attempts to recovery them. This scan can find and repair physical errors on the hard drive's disk. It can also automatically fix file system errors.
Depending upon the size of your hard drive, this may take several minutes. It's best that you not use your computer for any other tasks while preforming this check for errors.
Check your hard disk drive for errors
Right-click the hard disk drive that you want to check, and then click Properties.
Click the Tools tab, and then, under Error-checking, click Check Now.
To automatically repair problems with files and folders that the scan detects,
select Automatically fix file system errors.
Otherwise, the disk check will simply report problems but not fix them.
To perform a thorough disk check, select Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors.
This scan attempts to find and repair physical errors on the hard disk itself,
and it can take much longer to complete.
To check for both file errors and physical errors,
select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors.
Click Start.
Note:
If you select Automatically fix file system errors for a disk that is in use
(for example, the partition that contains Windows),
you'll be prompted to reschedule the disk check for the next time you restart your computer.
