Re: check disk utility errors

Go to the Command Prompt and type "chkdsk /f" without the quotes and press
ENTER.

You will get a warning message, if the volume is locked. Type "Y" without
the quotes and press ENTER.

Reboot your computer.

BTW, this is not a .NET related question and so should have been directed to
its appropriate news group.
