How to Check your hard disk for errors in Windows 7. Any time you have hard drive errors—or even strange behavior you might not at first associate with a hard drive—Check Disk can be a lifesaver. Here’s a full guide to using the Check Disk tool that comes with every version of Windows.

Symptoms

When you perform specific actions or open certain files, your computer crashes or programs freeze.

Resolution

Windows 7 Disk Check

Sometimes, your computer is noticeably slower or programs “hang” when you access certain files. This problem might occur because there are errors on your hard disk drive.

You can troubleshoot the problem by using the Disk Check tool in Windows 7. Disk Check can identify and automatically correct file system errors and make sure that you can continue to load and write data from the hard disk. You can use Disk Check in Windows 7 not only for local hard drives, but also for removable media such as USB memory sticks or memory cards.

Note  Please make sure that you close all open programs and files before you start the disk check.

1. Right-click the Start Windows icon.

Right-click the Start Windows icon.

2. In the shortcut menu, click Open Windows Explorer.

In the shortcut menu, click Open Windows Explorer.

3. In the navigation pane, click Computer so that your drives appear in the right pane.

5. Click Properties.

Click Properties.

6. Click the Tools tab.

Click the Tools tab.

7. Click the Check now button.

Click the Check now button.

8. In the Check Disk <disk name> window, select the Automatically fix file system errors check box.

Note  If you want to perform a detailed test of the hard drive, you can select the Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors check box. You should do that in the justified suspicion of existing hardware error in any case. But please note that the operation can then take a long time. For a first routine check, we recommend that you do not select this option.

In the Check Disk disk name window, select the Automatically fix file system errors check box.

9. Click Start.

Click Start.

10. If the drive that you want to check is currently in use and it is your system drive, you will see a dialog box with a warning message. In this case, click Schedule disk check.
