Right click the drive in computer, go to properties and it's in one of the tabs (error checking), will then prompt u to restart and will initiate on bootup

/f - fixes any errors on the disk
/r - Finds bad sectors and recovers readable information

Best way is this way...
find a winows XP disk, OEM/SELECT etc any of them
Boot to it
Press "R" so you go to the repair console..
Log into your windows so it will be option 1 if your disk isn't tooo fucked..
then type CHKDSK /f
sit back and wait...
take disk out and reboot
win
