I wrote the content on these pages to be used by friends who needed some help fixing up their computer.  I seem to be doing this a lot lately and thought this would be a good solution to send people to, especially if I can't be around to walk you through the process.  Enjoy!

    Checking For Disk Inconsistancies

    1. Press the key combination Win+R (the "Win" key has the Windows logo on it between the Control and Alt key on most keyboards). This will open the Run prompt window.


    2. Type  CMD  and press ENTER. This will open a Command Prompt window.


    3. Type  CHKDSK C: /F /R  into the command prompt window and press ENTER. At the "schedule at system restart" prompt, type  Y  and press ENTER. Now type  EXIT  and press ENTER to close the command prompt window.


    4. Restart your computer now (before performing any additional steps in this guide). Your computer will automatically run the scheduled disk inconsistancies test and repair any issues it may find automatically.
