Re: File system corrupt on NTFS

Hi, Michael.

If you use the /r (or /f) switch, any corrections discovered will be written
to the HD. With no switch, chkdsk finds errors, but does not repair them.
If you are running this on the System Partition (typically Drive C or the
Boot Volume, it will probably tell you that it will run the next time you
reboot; on any other volume it should run immediately.

At the C:\ prompt, type chkdsk /? to see all the switches available with
this command.
