hard drive and select properties>choose Tools tab and in
error-checking section, click check now. The check disk
utillity opens, select the Automatically fix file system
errors checkbox. Click the Scan for and attempt recovory
of bad sectors checkbox.Click OK to direct the utillity
to start at next startup.....Also if you don't get it up
and running put the exact error as given in your next
post....good luck
