    How to Use Check Disk in windows vista

    I am currently working on windows vista environment. I found that there are some corrupt files present inside my pc. I am unable to remove them using antivirus. When I discuss this problem with my engineer friend, he suggests me to use disk check function of your operating system in order to get rid of this problem. But I am not familiar with this term. Up till now I never come across this term. Now I need your help to know more about this term. If possible also try to tell me how I can use it in order to solve my problem. I hope you will never going to disappoint me. Your every single world of information is valuable for me. Thanking in advance.
