Here’s a full guide to using the Check Disk feature http://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/40734-drive-error-checking-windows-10-a.html built into every version of Windows. The chkdsk or "Check Disk" utility is used in Windows to scan through your entire hard drive and find problems… it's like a lot like doing inventory… it's boring, but it has to be done how to sometimes. I recommend that you run through a check disk every month or two. This works the same in Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, or Windows 10, so while the screens may look slightly different in each version, they are all in the same place. Image by Nemo Using CheckDisk the GUI Way Open up Computer and then right-click on the drive you want to check, and choose Properties, or just click the drive, and then click the Properties button. Then select the how to run Tools tab, and click the "Check Now" button. A little dialog will pop up to allow you to choose the options you want for the disk check. You should check both options if you want to really check the disk properly, but if you just want to do a quick check you could select only the first one. The only problem with that is that Windows can't check a drive that's being used, such as the system drive, but Windows will let you schedule a disk check for the next reboot. You should keep in mind that running through a full check disk takes quite a while, sometimes hours depending on how big the drive is and how many files you have. Cancelling the Scheduled Disk Check If you had scheduled a disk check but decided you would like to cancel it, you can run a command to stop it. Open up an administrator mode command prompt by searching in the Start menu or screen for "cmd" and then right-clicking on the item and choosing "Run as Administrator". Type in the following command, substituting the drive letter if necessary. chkntfs /x c: Seems like they could have a better command line output… something like "canceled!" would have even worked… oh well. How to Tell if a Manual Disk Check is Scheduled Open an admin mode command prompt, and then type in the following command: chkntfs c: How to Tell if an Automatic Disk Check is Scheduled Sometimes
