I knew it would take a while, so I opened command prompt, and typed in 'chkdsk C: /r', before hitting enter, letting it schedule the disk check for next startup, rebooting the PC, and then leaving it to do its thing. I figured it wouldn't hurt to run a disk check, in case there were any other errors or problems. I checked up the error code, found people with similar problems, and heard it could just be that the file was corrupted.
All in all, the initial build is probably 2 or 3 years old now (for the most part, the specs can be found here).Īfter formatting the hard drive, putting things together back with the old build, and booting up Windows 8 onto it as a gift for my dad, most things were working fine, but one exe file which I copied across wasn't running (at least one which I noticed). It's actually at the stage where I've been left with all the old parts as spares, and put everything back together, almost exactly as it was when I bought it. I've even taken the whole thing apart and swapped out all of the components (slowly upgraded over time). Hey, as the thread title suggests, I'm having troubles with a disk check.įirstly, I'd like to mention that I've had this PC for a while.
