Solution 1: Running check disk to see if your hard drive is the problem
Chkdsk could be used to check and repair your hard drive for filesystem corruption. Before running the chkdsk command, you have to find out the drive letter of your system drive. Depending on how your system is setup, this could be either C: or D:.
- Type dir C: and press Enter.
- If you see the common folders: Program Files, Users and Windows, then you have found your system drive.
If the drive is not your system drive, repeat the step above, changing the drive letter to D, E or some other letter until the system drive is located.
When you have located your Windows system drive, type the following command and press Enter. Replace d: with the actual drive letter of your system drive.
chkdsk d: /f
The scan should start. This could take several hours depending on the size of your hard drive. Once the scan is done, exit the Command Prompt and reboot your computer to check if the problem has been solved.
