Sorry, I should also have mentioned the 'simpler' option. Hit Windows + R for the run dialogue box. Type cmd.exe and hit enter. Then I normally use cd\ to go to the root of the current drive.
Then you simply type chkdsk e: /f (e: is the drive you want checked, and /f is the fix option) HTH Jacob Kruger Blind Biker Skype: BlindZA '...Fate had broken his body, but not his spirit...' ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mich" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "blind-computing @jaws-users.com" <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, October 21, 2007 9:48 PM Subject: [Blind-Computing] getting rid of a corrupted file on my externaldrive > Hi all.
