Hello

1. what prompted to run chkdsk on your computer?

To work with this problem, refer to these methods.

Method 1:

I suggest that you disable the antivirus software temporarily and try to run chkdsk on your computer.

Warning:
Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

Method 2:

You can check disk errors using the command-line of the system recovery options in Windows 7.

What are the system recovery options in Windows 7?
