Open "My computer" =BB right click on the drive =BB click properties =BB =
click tools =BB click check for errors. =20

For the system drive it will check at the next boot. =20

Or open Run =BB type "chkdsk" =BB ok. As above.

From "help and support";
Chkdsk
Creates and displays a status report for the disk. The chkdsk command =
also lists and corrects errors on the disk.

The chkdsk command with the parameters listed below is only available =
when you are using the Recovery Console. The chkdsk command with =
different parameters is available from the command prompt.

chkdsk [drive:] [/p] [/r]

Parameters=20

none

Used without parameters, chkdsk displays the status of the disk in the =
current drive.

drive:=20

Specifies the drive that you want chkdsk to check.=20

/p=20

Performs an exhaustive check even if the drive is not marked for chkdsk =
to run. This parameter does not make any changes to the drive.

/r

Locates bad sectors and recovers readable information. Implies /p.

Note

a.. The chkdsk command requires the file Autochk.exe. If it cannot =
find it in the startup directory (\%systemroot%\System32, by default), =
it will attempt to locate it on the Windows Installation CD. If you have =
a multiboot computer, be sure you are issuing this command from the =
drive containing Windows.

--=20
Just my 2=A2 worth,
