Before you run the thorough option, use your soft boot (control, alt, delete) and end task everything but explorer and be sure you have disabled any screensavers. This will help the operation run faster. Scandisk will look through everything in your computer and troubleshoot any problems automatically. Then you need to run the disk defragmenter.
