try opening an elevated command prompt (click start, type cmd in the search box, right click the cmd entry that appears, and select run as administrator and provide admin permission) you will get a black command window open. copy/paste this into the window chkdsk C: /F /R and hit return. It will tell you it can't do it with the drive in use, then will ask you if you would like to run it upon next reboot. Select yes. Close the window and reboot. That is assuming you want to check your C drive. If you want to check any other drive, just replace the C with the drive letter of the drive you want to check. You can also get Seatools for Windows that will install. Run the short and the long test. It will just do a better job running from DOS. You can get a CD for almost nothing.
