CHKDSK related

CHKDSK will not run on my system (tested on Windows 7)
1. Keep tapping F8 during the early boot phase.
2. Select Repair from the menu.
3. Log on as Administrator if prompted.
4. Select Repair when prompted.
5. Select the Command Prompt from the menu.
6. Identify the correct drive letter for your Windows installation. It could be a drive other than C: but it won't be X:. You do it by typing the commands
    dir C:\Win*
    dir D:\Win*
    dir E:\Win*
    until you see the Windows folder.
    I shall call that drive "Q:".
7. Type this command and press Enter:
    chkdsk  Q:   /R
