Re: Problem Running checkdisk under Vista

Just opened Windows mail and got message on the bottom of the screen
that there were problems on the disk and to run chkdsk. Tried to run
from the command prompt after executing CMD. System came back with
the message I did not have sufficient privileges, " Access denied as
you do not have sufficient privileges. You have to invoke this
utility running in elevated mode".

Please post solution to this execution problem.

TIA

Open an elevated Command Prompt window
Method 1
Click Start, click All Programs, click Accessories, right-click Command
Prompt, and then click Run as administrator.

Method 2
Click Start, type cmd.exe When the Instant search results are shown,
right-click the cmd.exe entry and choose Run as administrator. Or using
keyboard, select the cmd.exe in the Instant search results using the UP/DOWN
arrow and press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER on the keyboard. CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER runs a
program elevated, but only works when using the Instant Search feature in
the Windows Vista Start menu.

Method 3
Create a new desktop shortcut to CMD.EXE. Right-click on the shortcut and
choose Run as administrator. To run the shortcut as an administrator by
default, right-click the Command Prompt shortcut you created on the Desktop,
and choose Properties. In the Shortcut tab, click Advanced. Place a
checkmark near Run as administrator. Click OK and OK. Now, every time when
you double-click the shortcut Command Prompt window will open elevated.
You'll see the consent or the confirmation prompt anyway.

Thanks for the help.
