This is the prefered method if you have lots of data you want to keep, family photo's etc or programs you no longer have access to the installation disks or execution files. This method usually keeps everything intact.

Check Disk to fix file system

Are you getting a blue screen, possibly your system has been shut down in apropriately, power cut or your hard drives possibly failing, then a check disk is possibly required to sort out your system

It can repair problems related to bad sectors, lost clusters, cross-linked files, and directory errors. These types of problems can arise in a variety of ways. System crashes or freezes, power glitches, incorrectly turning off a computer can all cause corruption in the file or folder structure. Physically bumping or jarring a computer can cause the head that reads disks to hit the surface and damage sectors. Once some sort of error occurs it can propagate to create more errors so a regularly scheduled disk checkup is part of good system maintenance.

Chkdsk can also serve as an early warning that a hard drive is deteriorating. Disks gradually wear out and sectors may become bad. If Chkdsk starts finding bad sectors, that is a sign that a drive may need replacing. Unfortunately, many hard drive failures are sudden but nonetheless Chkdsk is an important line of defense.
