The Error-checking program examines the hard
drive for physical flaws and file and folder
problems. This program corrects file and folder
problems and marks flawed areas on the hard
drive so Windows does not use them.
If you use your notebook several hours every
day, you probably want to run Error-checking
once a week. If you use your notebook less
frequently, once a month may be adequate. Also
use Error-checking if you encounter hard drive
problems.
To check the hard drive for errors:
1
Click
Start
, then click
My Computer
. The
My Computer
window opens.
2
Right-click the hard drive that you want to
check for errors, for example Local Disk (C:),
then click
Properties
. The
Properties
dialog
box opens.
3
Click the
Tools
tab.
