I don't use the nortons utilities to run check disk I prefer to do it from
Windows. Once the computer has booted up after running check disk etc, then you
can use Nortons utilities for other maintenance if you prefer.

To start Check Disk

1. Open My Computer, right-click a drive, and then click Properties.
2. On the Tools tab, under Error-checking, click Check Now

Next time you reboot, check disk will start.

If you say yes to the scheduling, the next time you reboot chkdisk will run. This is the standard MS chkdisk program, so you may as well skip using Norton Disk doctor. Open "My Computer", right click your hard drive and select "Properties" and then click the "Tools" tab.
