Chkdsk
My xps 1530 has some registry errors and keeps wanting me to run the chkdsk utility. I could not find it until coming here earlier and did what some folks suggested, which was to go to C drive, properties, tools and run the utility. It won't do it but will scgedule it to run after the next reboot. I have tried it a few times, and nothing happens, it starts normally. Any ideas? thanks
renefig,
In addition to what TheRealFireblade stated, the commands to run chkdsk are as follows.
Press the Windows Key and the R key at the same time. Type
CMD
hit enter, this will bring up the dos screen. Now type
chkdsk /r (space between the k and /) Hit enter. Answer with Y and then restart your computer. It takes a while, so do this when you are not going to use the computer for a while.

If they are registry problems - rather than hard drive problems, use CCleaner to find the invalid registry entries, and get rid of them for you :emotion-55:
It also checks your system for junk files etc, and allows to get rid of those as well.
It's an invaluable program (IMO), which I personally run at least once a week on my own systems (PC's and laptop) :emotion-5:
