Do chkdsk e: /f and reboot.

It will then do an offline check and fix those errors.

chkdsk e: /r /x

this is the most effective combination I have come across. Itr forces a remount of your hard drive at boot, then runs the check.

What benefit do you get by the remount of the hard drive?

/r according to my chkdsk will locate bad sectors and try and recover readable info.

I guess without the /r that bad sectors would simply be mapped out which might cause more problems than it solves.
