запуск checkdisk

The Chkdsk (acronym for check disk) utility tool is an integral part of Windows that you can use to check and repair hard disk errors that might occur. It s one of the first steps you can take to check your hard drive if it is giving some problems.

One of the things to bear in mind is that chkdsk is not the perfect tool to fix hard drive cluster problems, and in rare instances can even make the problem worse. If you used floppy drives before (the little 1.44 MB ones), you ll know what I mean.

Although normally it should run, most PC users who are running XP will notice that their chkdsk utility occasionally will not run after an improper shutdown, which can happen for whatever reason, like a power failure for example.

The chkdsk utility is only meant to run when the auto-check system detects a problem at start up. If the auto-check does not detect any issues, chkdsk will not be automatically prompted.

But if you want to run chkdsk even though the auto-check did not detect any problems you can do so anytime from the DOS command prompt.

Just go to Start Run, and in the box, type in CMD. The DOS screen will appear.

Normally it will be defaulted to Documents and SettingsAdministrator.

To change directory, just type in cd and you ll be taken to the top level of C drive.

To check a different drive, like D drive for example, just type in D:

To run chkdsk, just type in chkdsk and it will run
