When you go to Start->CMD->right-click on command prompt and select Run As
Administrator. This will "elevate your privileges". You can also run chkdsk
by right-clicking on your OS drive, select Properties, then Tools tab, then
select Error Checking, Start, select options, schedule to run with computer
restart, then restart your computer. The scan and fix option takes 5-10
minutes, the restore bad sectors option may add another hour to complete
chkdsk. Details in following tutorial.
