How do I run the chkdsk/r/f ?
Can I run it from the run window?
I can type in CHKDSK.EXE and off it goes, but I want
it to R and F !


Thanks

Scott
 
Hi Scott

From a command prompt type:

chkdsk /r/f

There is a space between the k and /.
 
Hi Scott,

The /r option implies /f, you do not need to enter both parameters.
Start/run CMD, then run "chkdsk C: /r". You will get an error about not
being able to lock the drive, this is normal since it is currently in use
and the /r option cannot run when it is. You will also get a prompt to
schedule it to run when you reboot the system. Type Y to agree, then close
the command prompt and restart the system.

Is there a difference doing chkdsk by right clicking the volume and
......ticking both options?
