Patrick,
In My computer right click and view the properties of your hard disk, select
the tools tab and then click check now under error checking.

Talk about a throw back, chkdsk is a OLD DOS function, but whatever works.

No, it's not a throwback at all. Chkdsk is the name that's always
been used in Windows NT versions, not just in DOS. Besides, it's
just a matter of what name is used for the function.
