My Documents is corrupted?

[King Cucaracha]

Okay.

 

I've been having laptop problems for a while. Blue screen comes up, power cuts out, takes three or four attempts to start up sometimes. So, obviously I'm trying to work around it until I get get it taken for a check-up. But as I was working earlier, I get this little yellow triangle with an '!' in the midle popping up, telling me that My Documents (C:) was corrupted and that I should run Chkdsk. Or..something. I tried opening My Documents and again, it tells me it's corrupted, can't be read.

 

And, it's times like these I wish I'd listened in Computer Studies. Or, that we'd done something worthwhile in Computer Studies.

 

Any ideas/advice?

I'd run chkdsk like it's advising you to do. That can fix sectors which are logically bad, and move data away from sectors which are physically bad.
