Checking the hard drive for errors
The Error-checking program examines the hard drive for physical flaws and file
and folder problems. This program corrects file and folder problems and marks
flawed areas on the hard drive so Windows does not use them.
If you use your convertible tablet PC several hours every day, you probably want
to run Error-checking once a week. If you use your convertible tablet PC less
frequently, once a month may be adequate. Also use Error-checking if you
encounter hard drive problems.
To check the hard drive for errors:
1 Click/Tap Start, then click/tap My Computer. The My Computer window
opens.
2 Right-click/Button-tap the hard drive that you want to check for errors,
for example Local Disk (C:), then click/tap
Properties. The Properties dialog
box opens.
