Solution 2: Check drive to Check and fix Disk Errors
You should occasionally use the Check Disks tool to check the integrity of the disks. This examines hard drives and can correct many types of common errors on FAT16, FAT32, and NTFS drives. One of the ways that Check Disk finds errors is by comparing the disk bitmap to the disk sectors associated with files in the file system.
Check Disk cannot repair corrupted data in files that appear structurally intact. You can run Check Disk from the command line or through a graphical interface.
Right click on Start then select Command Prompt (Admin)
Enter the following command: chkdsk / f h: and then press enter (h is the drive with the disk.exe error 1392 problem)
You can also try the following command: chkdsk / F / R and then Enter
to press.
Note: Check Disk analyzes the drive and returns a status message about any problems that occur. If you don’t specify any other options, Check Disk won’t repair any problems, but to find and repair errors on drive C use chkdsk / f C:
When you use this command, Check Disk will analyze the hard drive and then repair any errors it finds if the hard drive is not in use. When used, Check Disk will display a prompt asking if you want to schedule the disk to be checked the next time the system reboots. Click yes to schedule this review.
