Checking a hard drive for errors in Windows Vista and Windows 7
Typical problems that affect hard drives, such as corrupt files, bad sectors, can be detected and often resolved by using a built-in windows utility called CHKDSK (for check Disk). CHKDSK scans a hard drive for errors and attempts to repair them, or move any data in a bad sector to a safer location, and then flags the bad sectors to prevent future data from being stored there.
To run CHKDSK, do the following:
- Go to Start>> Computer
- Right click the hard disk that you would like to test.
- Select Properties
- Select the Tools tab
