TuneUp Tech Support.
Make sure you do not need your computer for at least 12 hours before proceeding with this step. This scan may take that long and cannot be aborted. I reccomend you run it overnight. If this is not possible let me know and we will continue another way.
Click
Start>Run and type in
chkdsk /r
If it asks you to run chkdsk on restart please click yes, and restart your computer. This will check your hard drive for errors, and correct any minor errors it finds.
