Chkdsk utitily

[sivakumar.tm]

hi, I am using windows vista for the last 1 year and for the last few days, i m getting errors like some of the files are corrupt and run the chkdsk utility. When i try to run the utility it's not starting. .

I tried in 2 ways.

1. Using command prompt.
2. Harddisk properties --> tools --> check disk. it says, its already running and schedule it again during startup. When I started the machine, chkdsk utility doesn;t start.

Help me in fixing the issue.

I would start by running an sfc /scannow to check for corrupt system files:- http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/66978-system-files-sfc-command.html
