It won't be I'm tough, it's just that I am facing so many health issues at one time and the Prednisone I am taking beats the crap out of me, one thing I know for sure that only the good die young so I am safe there.
Tried to run check disk second time and instead it said "cannot run check disk because the volume is in use buy another process. check disk may run if this volume is dismounted first. All open handles to this volume would then be invalid.
would you like to force the dismount on this volume yes or no.
Any suggestions (which door should I choose?

That's the standard response to a chkdsk /f or /r cmd as it cannot be run in Windows and has to be done before Windows boots up.
Type and enter y then enter shutdown /r /t 00 and wait for it to do its thing.
To see the full report, go Start - type eventvwr and press enter.
When Event Viewer has read the data, expand Windows Logs by clicking on the arrow head next to it then click on the name Application - Action - Find then type chkdsk or wininit into the Find box and press enter.
Cancel the Find box and read the report in the scrollable window.
BTW - How did you manage to capture the last chkdsk report ?

When it finished checking the report was on the screen, I did nothing!
Boggin:
So that must have been run within the Recovery Environment where the volume doesn't need to be dismounted first, so you wouldn't have seen that message where you have to type y or n
You could do it from there again if you like.
Just been given another Karma point - was that from you ?
