When you run CHKDSK C: /F, execute it from a Command Prompt Window with Administrator privileges. (Right-click the short cut and select Run As ... from the menu.)

If you're checking the volume used for your system, it will explain why it cannot run and ask permission to run at the next boot. You need to answer with a Y.

On your next boot, CHKDSK will start after Windows core system boots, but before the graphical user screens appear. If all is well, CHKDSK will say "No problems found." It will display this message very, very, briefly. Then Windows will finish booting.

The /F part tells CHKDSK to FIX errors. If it finds any, this may take a second or two longer. Throughout the work, CHKDSK shows its progress so you know it's running OK.

Cheers, PW.

P.S. CHKDSK can work with non-system volumes without the re-boot.
