The following error message has been popping up at regular intervals today, although on the face of things HEM seems to be working fine:

The file or directory C:\PROGRA~1\PostgresSQL\8.3\data\global is correct and unreadable. Please run Chkdsk utility.

Is this a serious issue? Also how do I run the Chkdsk utility?


Thanks

NB if this is in the wrong forum please move

it could be you have a dodgy disc drive or just a minor glitch on it

it's asking you to check (& fix) any bad sectors on your disc

the check disc utility is standard in windows

close all your apps & do what it says here (I've given you a few choices to read):
