I'm thinking of upgrading to Windows 7 from Vista Business, and I just wanted to check, as I know some of you are fairly whizzy with computers - will it be possible, once I've run the upgrade, to run chkdsk from the DVD? I ask because chkdsk on my current Vista laptop is misbehaving - refusing to run at boot time - and I don't have the media for Vista (it's a Dell, who prefer to give you a Recovery partition, which is kind of useless for this).
Yes, you can run chkdsk from a Windows install disc. Just find an option to access the Command Prompt. You may need to enter a "recovery mode" to do this.

Thanks - in the end I actually decided to re-install, and things seem ok now.
