Subject: system restore and disk check errors

Question
hi, i'm currently having problems with my computer. everytime i perform a system restore it tells me that windows has detected a file corruption on OS (C:) and to schedule a disk check when i restart my computer. however, when the disk check does run, it automatically cancels by itself. could you please tell me what is wrong with my computer and how to fix it? thanks in advance!

Answer
Hello Melissa

do a complete scandisk checkup which is going to take a longer time but it will fix it and you will get rid of the errors

right click on your C: drive and choose properties
then goto Tools Tab
click on "Check Now"
and check the boxes "Automatically fix errors" and " Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors"

press start , it will tell you it will scan after you reboot your system , so schedule the check and reboot , let it fully scan your system

if you need more help feel free to contact me back anytime
take care and good luck.
