ScanDisk 

Unfortunately, as your drive ages, it will develop little problems that must be fixed. Win 95/98 incorporates a full-featured disk analysis and repair program called ScanDisk. ScanDisk checks and fixes problems on hard drives, diskette drives, random-access memory (RAM) drives, and memory cards.

To run ScanDisk:

1. Close all programs
   
   
2. Left-click start
   
   
3. Highlight Programs
   
   
4. Go to Accessories, then System Tools and left-click ScanDisk.

    

5. Select the drive to scan and check the Fix Errors Automatically box.  
   
   
6. You typically want to run the Standard scan, but if you have not run this utility for a couple of weeks or your computer seems to have some severe problems, you should run the Thorough scan. Left-click the start button.

***Recommended to perform this type of test on Thorough twice a month .***
