    Open My Computer, right-click the drive (e.g. drive C) > Properties > Tools Tab > Check Now, put a tick in Automatically fix file system errors > Start.

    If you receive the message that it cannot be performed at the moment, do you want to schedule it for the next time the computer restarts, reply Yes.
