Run Error Checking (chkdsk.exe). Then delete the contents of the Recycle
Bin and run defrag.

1. In My Computer or Windows Explorer, right-click the drive you want to
check, and then click Properties.
2. On the Tools tab, click Check Now.
3. Check both boxes:

You have to reboot for Error-checking to run.

For a peek at the log.
