Chkdsk is the command for Disk Error Checking, which checks your hard
disk for logical errors and unreadable sectors. The /f switch tells
chkdsk to fix logical errors it finds, if any. In order to do this the
disk must be locked. If chkdsk cannot lock the drive -- for example, if
you are checking your system partition -- a message appears that asks
you if you want to check the drive the next time you restart the computer.
Its the commandline way of telling chkdsk to fix faults on a particular
drive. If you right click my computer | Open | Right click any partition |
Properties | tools tab | error checking | check now. Put a tick in
automatically fix file system errors and accept the offer to check after
rebooting. Do this for all drives/partitions. Windows will check the drives
and you don't have to worry about the commandline. Doing this will be the
same as doing chkdsk /f.
I need to know why this chkdsk /f. comes up when i go to disk defragment. It
tells me the chkdsk is trying to run on C:. What does that mean and how to i
get it to go away or stop.
