When I attempt to enter a command such as chkdsk/f at first I says direct access to drive is required but upon restart it says it does not have direct access to the drive
What can I do

It should offer to schedule a CHKDSK at the next boot, and then do it as you restart. If that's not happening, recount the exact sequence of events.

it offered that option,
i used system restore and that took care of it
but thanks for the reply
