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.
