I clicked on My Computer and then right clicked on C: / Properties / Tools.
Then Error Checking / Check Now.
I clicked Start - Then got Disk Check Complete (No results)
I then ran Automatically fix file system errors - it did it thing and once
again (no results).
I then ran Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors. Once again it did
it's thing and once again - no results.
Am I supposed to be seeing any results? Or am I using wrong procedure? One
article said to check Start/Control Panel/Adm Tools/Event Viewer/Log (I
didn't see Log; so i looked in Application and to look for Autochk, which I
could not find.
What am I doing wrong? How can I get results? Is that possible?
Thank you. Alice
