    I'm running Win 7 64 bit Pro, logged in as an administrator.  When I try to run Chkdsk I get a message that says "Access Denied as you do not have sufficient privileges.  You have to invoke this utility running in elevated mode"   How do I elevate the mode so it will run.

    Right-click on CMD and click on run as an administrator and then run chkdsk.

    You can also disable UAC.
