chkdsk question (in a script?)

[\(ProteanThread\)]

is it possible to run "chkdsk C: /f" in a script without being forced to
manually press "Y" to run chkdsk at next startup? (an autorun type thingy)

There are programs that can pass a keystroke through a script, batch or
cmd process but it wouldn't work anyway, you'd still have to restart in
order for chkdsk /f to run on the system drive.

That's what I want, create a shortcut to a script that passes "Y" to "chkdsk
c: /f" automatically

Command line you are looking for:

echo y|chkdsk /f
