That error means that the disk checking needs a "locked" disk; if the
computer is running normally, the disk contents are continuously being
changed and the check fails. From the run command type: cmd[enter].
This opens the command window, type: chkdsk[space]/f. chkdsk runs,
reports the disk is not locked, and invites you to do the check on the
next reboot. Type "y", then reboot, and chkdsk will run.
