A computer file system check is performed to determine whether local hard drives are using the NTFS file system. NTFS is a secure file system that allows you to control and restrict access to specific files or directories in Windows. This is one of the key components of computer security.
Instructions
Step 1
Click the "Start" button to bring up the main menu and go to "My Computer" to determine the file system of your computer.
Step 2
Select the drive where the operating system is installed (by default - drive C) and open the drop-down context menu by right-clicking on the field of the selected drive.
Step 3
Select Properties and find File System: NTFS.
In the case of File System: Fat32 or Fat16, it is necessary to convert the file system of the computer.
Step 4
Go back to the Start menu and go to Run to convert the file system to NTFS.
Step 5
Enter cmd in the Open field to invoke the command line and click OK to confirm the command.
Step 6
Enter CONVERT drive letter: / FS: NTFS in the command line field and press ENTER.
Step 7
Return to the command line utility and enter Secedit / configure / db% SYSTEMROOT% / security / database / cvtfs.sdb / Cfg% SYSTEMROOT% / security / templates / setup security.inf / areas filestore in the command line field to correct access rights (for Windows XP).
Step 8
Press the ENTER key to execute the command and wait for the information window to appear with the value:
Task is completed. Some files in the configuration are not found on this system so security cannot be set / queried.
See the% windir% / security / logs / scesrv.log file for detailed information.
Step 9
Reboot your computer.
Step 10
Run the fsck command to check the computer's file system in order to monitor the integrity of the file system.
Step 11
Make sure to close the session or start the system in accordance with the requirements of WIndows. It is an improper shutdown that dismounts all file systems.
Step 12
Make sure that pluggable drives are always removed only after the drive has finished. This will help preserve the integrity of your computer's file system.
