Hello never4get911,
In Windows 2000, you'll run chkdisk. double click My Computer. Right click on the icon for your harddrive, then left click "Properties." Under the "Tools" tab, click on the "Check Now" button under "Error Checking." -phat |

What was the exact message? that it couldn't run at all? or just not right now? chkdsk will only run when you restart.

You must be logged in as an Administrator to run the check disk.

Have you tried running chkdsk at boot time? Are you running NTFS? if so-
Open up a command prompt in Win2k .. go to START > RUN > cmd and press enter. In the CLI type: chkdsk c: /c or chkntfs c: /c This should stop the computer from booting to Win2k completely and run a checkdisk. If you are using NTFS and have serious errors it might be indicative of a more serious issue, NTFS is usually robust enough not to cause incidental errors. If you are using FATs, particularly FAT32, then you shouldnt be surprised at the issues. HTH |

Also, if you havent previously modified boot time checking behaviour there are some interesting ways to force checking..
try typing fsutil dirty set C: and it will set C: as dirty and do a drive check at boot |
