The Disk Drives

Problems with the hard disk or with a disk drive usually show up
as an inability to access the disk or as sector errors. Sometimes a
disk problem may damage one or more files.
You are having trouble accessing a diskette, or one or more files
appear to be missing.
Make sure you're identifying the drive by its correct name
(A or C).
Run ScanDisk, which analyzes the directories, files and File Allo-
cation Table (FAT) on the disk and repairs any damage it finds. To
start ScanDisk, follow these steps:
1 Click Start, then point to Programs.
2 Point to Accessories, then point to System Tools.
3 Click ScanDisk.
Windows 95 opens the ScanDisk window.
4 Click the drive you want to test.
