What version is she running? 3.1? She needs to turn automatic updates on.

I had not heard of or used chkdsk since Windows 3.1

What are you looking for, anyway?

What the hell are you doing with chkdsk? Windows for Workgroups? That's an old one, for sure.

Chkdsk is one of the tools that is easily available on Windoze 7. It's
still useful, if maddeningly slow. It can find and repair simple
problems that might come up on hard drives running Windoze.

The 'chkdsk' tool has been around for a long time. Glad you found it and hope it helps.

There's a host of command line tools available. you can even batch them
if you want. I like the network tools. You'd be surprised how fast your
ISP level 1 techs will hand you off to level 2 if you are able to tell
him which IP address in the chain failing and why.

I'm surprised so many of you windoze acolytes don't run it at least once
a month in order to seek out and repair those bad clusters the OS creates.
