Making a Check Disk under Vista

The analysis of hard disk (CheckDisk) allows to find and correct some types of problems such as(the indexes, the MFT, ...)

This can be useful in case of loss of access to the disk or a file that does not want to delete, etc ...

Graphical Method

As a first step, start with this procedure:
Go to the Start Menu/Computer
Right click on the partition that you have problems/Properties
Go to the Tools tab/Check Now

The second box allows a deep analysis of the sectors on the disk. In the presence of bad sectors, the system will attempt to restore the data on these sectors.
Click Start to start the analysis and repair.

Using command lines

The method command line is better because it contains more options for analysis. For more information, type chkdsk/? in the console:
Go to the Start menu/All Programs/Accessories
Right-click Command Prompt/Run as administrator
In the console, type the command
chkdsk/F x:
x is the letter assigned to the partition in question

To make a deep analysis, type the command
chkdsk/F/ R/I x:
Confirm with ENTER


NB:
If you want to analyze the system partition (the partition where the operating system is installed, the system will require a plan for starting the system. This is useful because no application will be loaded into memory.
The deep analysis will take much longer than normal analysis.
If you can not do this analysis in normal mode, try the safe mode.
This method does not correct the problem related to drivers.
