I wanna perform thorough disk check of my laptop hard disk but I'm not being able to do so. I have Win 7, when pc restarts for the disk check, it cancels itself & I don't press any key, my keyboard keys r fine too.

Any solution?

Update: Problem solved. Tried CMD method as K3yser told it but it worked with run as Admin as abobobilly told it.

[MENTION=1123]noman3000[/MENTION]: run a ccleaner registry scan to check the bootscan entry, could be some virus etc has disabled it.

alternatively;

-go to run > cmd press enter > @ command prompt go down to C: (or watever drive thats giving error) and type > chkdsk /f press enter.

this'll hopefully resolve ur issue bro...

In Windows 7 ...

1. Right Click on the drive you want to scan, and go to Properties.
2. From the Tools Tab, Click on Error Checking.

From there you can schedule a disk check.

---------

If you are not able to use CMD, then make sure you are Running it as Administrator.

From Start Menu, type CMD in the search bar (not Win+R, but the search bar which is at the bottom of Start Menu). Right click on CMD and Run it as Admin.

No that's not the problem, I can run CMD without any problem. Problem is that when I restart my pc for disk check (disk check always perform after reboot in DOS screen, u know it very well), the disk check timer starts (press any key to cancel 10 seconds.. this type of message comes) but it cancels automatically.

I used ur method of right clicking too, wese I use tune up utility monthly for disk cleaning but this time it's not performing disk check.

Edit: I had Win Vista & never had disk check problem, it means this problem occurs in Win 7?

Very good. Install avast! Free Antivirus and run a "Boot-Time Scan". See if it helps.
O bhai, I installed this & my pc got fucked up, was not even starting so I just uninstalled it back from safe mode, now pc is fine. But disk check problem still exists. Anti virus software is itself a virus in my opinion. I don't like it.

are you using chkdsk ?
I'm using tune up utilites..
coming backto your issue:

run combofix (download from www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/anti-virus/combofix )

see if that solves your problem...

It's not available on ur given link. Although I found it on google but it's looking a risky software bcoz this is written on the site:
IMPORTANT : ComboFix is extremely powerful , You should not run ComboFix.exe unless you are asked to by a trained helper .
