The dual booting windows is, however, even slower than it used to be
starting up. Beyond that, I can't test the file structure on the drive
- I tell it to test disc C, it says it has to reboot, I reboot, it
forgets to perform the test. Maxtor says the drive is fine, but I want
to check *windows* for installation damage - does anyone know offhand
where I can look for that answer?
You could boot into the recovery console [1] from your Windows CD (or
DVD) and run chkdsk from there.
chkdsk checks only the integrity of the filesystem, though. It doesn't
check for corrupted files (try "sfc /scannow" [2] from a running Windows
for that).
from my vendor because I couldn't find the original, but once I
had that, scannow fixed the installation.
