If you are using; NT4, Win2K or WinXP there is NO ScanDisk function. That is in Win9x/ME.

If you using; NT4, Win2K or WinXP then Open a Command Prompt.

In the Command Prompt type the following...

CHKDSK C: /F

If it replies..
"Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another process.
Would you like to schedule this volume to be checked the next time the system restarts?
(Y/N)"

Choose - Y

type; EXIT

Reboot the PC.

A full Check Disk will want to be performed, allow it.

go to "start", all programs, accessories, system tools, disk cleanup, make
sure that (C is the selected drive, then click OK, this will run scandisk
on your system.
