Checking the hard drive for errors
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 computer several hours every day, you probably want to run Error-checking once
a week. If you use your computer 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 Computer . The Computer window opens.
2
Right-click the drive that you want to check for errors, click Properties , then click the Tools
tab.
3
Click Check Now , then click Start . Your drive is checked for errors. This process may take
several minutes.
After Windows has finished checking the drive for errors, it provides a summary of the
problems that it found.
4
Correct any problems that are found by following the on-screen instructions.
5
Click OK .
Important
Error checking cannot scan a drive while the drive is being used,
so if you try to check your hard drive for errors, you see a prompt asking
you if you want to scan the hard drive later (the next time you restart
your computer). If you see this prompt, click
Schedule disc check .
