Hi,

I started running the Windows XP Disk Check utility on my hard drive.
During the disk check , I shutdown Windows (Start -> Shutdown). Will I have
any disk errors as a result of shutting down Windows during the disk check?

Note that I shutdown Windows from the Start menu, not a hard power-off.

Here is how I started the disk check:

My Computer -> right click on hard-disk -> Tools -> Error Checking
- clicked 'Automatically fix file system errors'
- clicked 'Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors'
- clicked 'Start'

Thanks,
Loosley

Sorry, I meant to post this in the Windows XP General forum. I'll repost it
there...
