After the last windows 7 update a folder that I have got corrupted, unfortunately now I want to shrink the disk size but It wont let me because I have corrupted files -.-

I've tried to put check disk to run on startup by the usual way and nothing, I've read like 10 different methods to make it work and nothing.

I really need for it to work and I'm desperate right now PLEASE HELP!!!

A few ideas:

1:

Start – All Programs – Accessories
Right click on Command Prompt and select Run as Administrator.
Type fsutil dirty query c: and press ENTER (this assumes that the O/S drive is C:)
If the result = DIRTY then type the following….
CHKNTFS /X C: and then press ENTER
Reboot the PC. Windows should boot normally instead of running the check.
Reopen the Administrator Command Prompt.
chkdsk /f /r c: and press ENTER to run CHKDSK
Type the following when the check has finished
fsutil dirty query c: and press ENTER
The result should now be CLEAN !
Close the Command Prompt

You might have a corrupt entry for Error Checking in the registry. A System Restore point would probably fix that. If you want to look at the entry doing it, it’s at:
‘autocheck’ entry (value) at: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\BootExecute
If you make a restore point, and delete this value, you will probably fix it.

Goto "run", type "chkdsk/x" and then go to msconfig and set it so that when you restart, it will restart straight to safemode
