Windows 7 Reverse Hard Disc Volume Errors

[Awesome Applesauce]

Hello, and I have the unlucky pleasure of getting another volume error in my hard drive. I've already had this happen when I was running on VISTA, and had to re-install it, but I really don't want to have to re-install 7as well. My problem is that when I scan for hard drive errors, my computer never schedules a scan for errors when I re-start the machine. Is there some why I can do this myself? Can I create a hot launch disc for Windows 7 so I can scan the hard disc?

Would making a recovery do the trick? I noticed the option under recovery options.
