You won't be able to run scandisk on a drive while it's running the OS. The good news is a duplicate copy of the Master File Table (MFT) is kept on the disk when formatted NTFS. Run check disk (My Computer>Rt click C:\ drive>"Tools" tab>Check Now>select the two check boxes for fix and recover>then "Start"). You will be will be ask if you want to run at next start up. Select Yes, OK, and re-boot.
