[Windows XP] Making Error disk Checking
Checking in Safe Mode
Restart the computer in Safe Mode (press repetitive F5 or F8 during startup before loading Windows).
- Open My Computer (icon on the desktop),
- Right Click on the disk you want,
- Properties> Tools tab> Click Check Now
Verification at startup
Open an MS-DOS window (
Start Menu>
Run>
cmd>
OK),
Type:
chkdsk c:/F
If the computer asks if you want to check on the next restart, confirm with O Input, and then restart your computer.
This solution is recommended because it allows Windows to perform an audit of the disc before the programs started.
