Hi,
my PC is acting really weird.
I know that there is a corrupt section somewhere as every so often something gets mucked up.
e.g. i switched my pc on today and the graphics drivers were nowhere to be seen! :red:
Is there a program that will find the corrupt section and “flag” it so other programs don’t try and use/read/write to the corrupt part? :hangover:
please help as it is seriously annoying!!! :\*( 🅰 ☹

if you’re using windows xp
go to my computer
right click on your C: drive and select “properties”
click on tools tab up top and then click on the “check now” button under error checking.
put a check mark next to both of the options (automatically fix errors and scan for bad sectors)…you’ll get a prompt to reboot
reboot and let checkdisk do it’s thing! hope this helps 🙂
