If any one could help how do I run chkdsk on drive c: I try it from the
prompt but it won't allow me to run it.
Thanks for any help.

You need to run chkdsk from an elevated command prompt.

Start type in "command", right click on "command prompt" and click "Run as
Administrator".

Hi Kerm,

You will need to run it in a elevated command prompt (Run as
administrator). You can see how in Method Two Option One in this
tutorial if needed.

Also be aware that chkdsk will not be able to fix problems it finds on "C:"
without rebooting and running before the GUI loads. If you run it with the
"/F" switch it will say it can't lock the disk and ask if you want it to run
during the next startup.
