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 that Windows does not use them.
If you use your computer several hours every day, you probably want to run
Error-checking once a week. If you use your computer less frequently, once
a month may be adequate. Also use Error-checking if you encounter hard drive
problems.
