It normally will run during the next boot up cycle and may take quite a long time until it finishes. You will have no speech access at that point, but when it is done your system should start up in the regular manner. So take a walk and have dinner, you'll have the time.

Hi Alan; I copied the line, chkdsk drive letter: /f, into the run dialog box, hit enter, & nothing happened. I have absolutly no experience with CHKDSK, so if I didn't wrong please let me know. Thanks much. Take care.

You can do this while you are using your computer since it is not the drive with your operating system on it. What I do with my external and/or slave drives is the following: 1. bring up the run dialogue box 2. type the following line: chkdsk drive letter: /f I use the f switch to automatically correct any errors. This may take some time due to the size of the drive.
