Right click on your CD Rom icon,go down to properties,click on tools,click on Error-checking,("check now"),Then tick both boxes.When you restart your computer again it will check your drive for errors etc.

You should use the /f switch. Type chkdsk c: /f

This instructs chkdsk to fix errors. On Windows XP chkdsk cannot run while Windows is being used. It will ask you if you want to make the app check the disk the next time you restart your computer. Say yes and then restart your computer.
