Detecting and repairing disk errors
You can use the Error-checking tool to check for file system errors and bad 
sectors on your hard disk.
Open My Computer, and then select the local disk you want to check. 
On the File menu, click Properties. 
On the Tools tab, under Error-checking, click Check Now. 
Under Check disk options, select the Scan for and attempt recovery of bad 
sectors check box. 
 Notes
To open My Computer, click Start, and then click My Computer. 
All files must be closed for this process to run. If the volume is currently 
in use, a message box will appear prompting you to indicate whether or not you 
want to reschedule the disk checking for the next time you restart your 
system. Then, the next time you restart your system, disk checking will run. 
Your 
volume will not be available to perform other tasks while this process is 
running. 
If your volume is formatted as NTFS, Windows automatically logs all file 
transactions, replaces bad clusters, and stores copies of key information for 
all 
files on the NTFS volume.
