computer question

[Michelle]

okay my computer did an update and now I am getting this warning that I have a corrupt disk #2304 AOLSoftwar.exe and it comes up on my task bar on the left and I can't run my defrag cuz it says it is
schedule for C and to run the f disk and i don't have a f. I am lost and can't get rid of it. any thoughts on this

Are you sure it is not saying to run CHKDSK /F that is a utility that is run from the MSDOS prompt (The C: prompt line) this will check your C Drive for errors and make fixes to corrupt areas of the disk and mark them as bad so no data is written there again. there may be some data loss where bad areas are found but it is usually minimal.

Look for the Icon on the desktop that says MSDOS prompt

when you get the msdos prompt type CHKDSK /F

this may solve the problem but the corruption area of the disk may be where the AOLSoftware.exe resided.

If this does not correct it you will probably need Sandman.

Be careful with anything that asks you to run FDISK (a DOS partitioning software that comes with DOS/Windows).

If your DeFrag program is asking for it then it might be the FDISK /MBR command which will try and restore your Master Boot Record so that the drive will once again boot.

Anything with AOL in its name is suspect to me.

Hope this helps.
