My hard drive appears to have some bad sectors and I would like to run
chkdsk with /f to fix the problem but don't know how to do this as I need to
run this program in elevated mode.

If I try to run the program in Command prompt or Run?chkdsk /f I am told I
do not have the previlidges to run it.

Anyone know how I can run this program?
 
Click on the blue Vista start button, click on Computer,
right-click on your hard drive that appears and then select
Properties > Tools > Check now

Click to expand...

Right-click the command prompt shortcut (in All programs > Accessories), and
choose Run as administrator.
