-=PCTechTalk=- Re: error message

Jo Ann,
    My bad.  You get the options if you start CHKDSK from within My 
Computer.  Right click on the drive you want to scan and select Properties. 
Click on the Tools tab and you'll see the button for CHKDSK near the top. 
It's labeled "Check Now".  Once the options are checked and you click OK, it 
may tell you that it can't run it right now because files are in use.  It'll 
then ask if you want to run it on the next reboot.  Click Yes and then 
reboot.  It there is more than one drive, you can go down the list first and 
save the reboot for when you've done them all.

Peace,
G
