• Step 2: You will get a command prompt screen. In case you want CHKDSK to run in the read-only mode, you have to type CHKDSK c. If you want CHKDSK not to check the bad sectors, but to fix the errors, type CHKDSK c:/f

• Step 3: Type CHKDSK c:/r or CHKDSK c:/p and then press Enter, if you want the CHKDSK command to locate the bad sectors in your hard drive and recover still readable data.

• Step 4: If the CHKDSK command says that your hard disk cannot be accessed, there may be a hardware failure. In this case, check all jumper settings in your drive and cable connections.

• Step 5: If the command says that it was unable to fix the hard drive problems, the Master Boot Record or file system may be damaged.
