That done, you should run the Check Disk utility, provided by Microsoft in both XP & Vista, on a scheduled basis to ensure that the health of your hard drive is good. If yours shows what appear to be serious errors and not just the “cleaning up of minor inconsistencies” you should keep a close eye on the drive to see if similar errors occur again. Your hard drive may be failing.

So here are links to those detailed instructions:
