Hello everyone,

So here it is, I would like to do a complete check for errors on each hard drive. The problem is that with one of my partitions it says "Windows cannot check the disk while it is in use - Would you like to unmount this volume first? Note: the open handles on this volume will no longer be valid."

What does this mean please? It makes me a bit scared to take the risk. I want to clarify that this is not the system partition but I have "My Documents" on it.

Thank you in advance for your response ;-)

AMD Turion 64 X2 Mobile Technology TL-60 2.00 GHz

    Hi

    In principle, it will "block" the hard drive for the system, which will no longer have access during the verification. But you should be able to recover it afterwards.

    However, I advise you to perform this check at startup of the PC.

    Any other opinions?
