To run the chkdsk command, you will need to open Command Prompt as an administrator. To do this, open the Start Menu, type `command prompt`, right-click the **Command Prompt** icon, and select **Run as administrator**.

Once the Command Prompt window is open, type the following command and press enter:

```
chkdsk /f
```

This command will check your hard drive and fix any errors it finds. If any errors are found, you may need to replace your hard drive.</s>\ <s>[INST] What can I do if I don't have administrator access on the computer I want to check? [/INST] If you don't have administrator access on the computer you want to check, you can try the following methods to check if your hard drive is failing:

Run the Error Checking tool: You can run the Error Checking tool in Windows 10 by right-clicking the hard drive you want to check in File Explorer, selecting Properties, and then going to the Tools tab. Under the Error-checking section, click the Check button.

Check for S.M.A.R.T. status: S.M.A.R.T. is a self-monitoring system that is built into many hard drives. It can provide information about the health of your hard drive. To check the S.M.A.R.T. status of your hard drive, you can download and run a free tool like Hard Disk Sentinel or CrystalDiskInfo.

Use Event Viewer: You can check the Event Viewer to see if there are any error messages related to your hard drive. To open Event Viewer, press Windows Key + R, type eventvwr.msc and press Enter. Go to the Windows Logs > System section and look for events related to disk or storage.

These methods can give you an indication of whether your hard drive is failing, but if you have serious concerns, it's always best to consult a professional.</s>
