Hi Lennie, 1. Go to My Computer for your list of drives by pressing windows key + E, & if you are running XP tab 1 time for list view when My Computer opens.
2. Arrow to the drive to be checked, with the drive highlighted, go to its properties. You can press alt + enter to open its properties or, press the application key, arrow up to properties, & press enter. 3. Control + tab 1 time to the Tools tab. 4. On the Error check now button, press the spacebar. 5. Now tab a couple of times because there are a couple of checkboxes you want to check. They are, Automatically fix file system errors, & Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors. Check both these boxes, tab to the start button, & press the spacebar. 6. You will get a message stating that blah, blah, blah & if you would like to do this on the next restart, press enter on the yes option. Now, restart your computer & let chk/dsk do its thing! It can take quite some time depending on what & how much has to be repaired. I was doing the steps on my wife's computer as I was typing them to make sure this is all correct. Damn, am I brave! LOL LOL Her computer went through the chk/dsk & restarted within the time it took to type this email. Apparently there were no problems on her machine! Thank God! Or, I would be in traction on Doctor Phil's couch! LOL, hahaha hahaha hahaha, LOL Hope this helps. Take care.

It suggested that I run it again using the parameter /F. However, When do I start CHKDSK? I thought that there was some talk about starting CHKDSK and restart the computer? Is this the right procedure? What happens when the computer starts? I really need some help with this and any suggestions will greatly be appreciated. Thanks.
