This is a THREE STEPS process: (1) disk error correction (2) drive defragmentation (3) speed-up boot loading.STEP-1: Just do following once a week (usually before going to bed) [save as btch file e.g. ckdkwk.bat]---------------------------------Start /wait CHKNTFS /d C:CHKNTFS /d D:CHKDSK /f /v /r /x D:CHKDSK /f /v /r /x C:===================You can add E or F if you have more partitions. Waht this does is it thouroughly checks your hard drive bit-by-bit to make sure you do not have orphaned file (or corrupted files). This command may take 2 to 8 hoursdepending on you hard drive size.STEP-2: Also use DEFRAGGLER to defragment drive once a week. If oyu have downloaded say files > 500MB, it can fragment your $MFT into 3 or more. To defragment $MFT, use PAGEDEFRAG which is part of SysInternal Suitehttp://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb842062.aspxhttp://download.sysinternals.com/Files/PageDefrag.zipDEFRAGGLER: http://www.piriform.com/STEP-3: Download, Install and Run Bootvis.msiDownload from MajorGeek: http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=664Please post your experience.This way you would not have problem checking disk but weekly or twice a month.
