thx man appreciate your help. do you know of any way i can give norton rights to do it. it tells me operating system has exclusive rights ? i would prefer to use norton if possible !

Another Alternative

Another idea is (if you are running Windows XP or 2000)

Click on the Start Button and select Run
Type "cmd" (without the quotes) and press Enter
A command prompt will show up. Type "chkdsk /f" (minus quotes)
It will prompt to run chkdisk on startup next time. Type "y" (minus quotes again) and press Enter
Restart the computer and watch it scan your disk.

Windows XP will automatically run this utility if it sees the hard drive is causing problems, so normally you do not need to do this manually.

your welcome and no i dont use norton to check my harddisk very often so i wouldnt no..but again your welcome

its all good ! thx for the help guys !
