You don't. Use the gui approach - my computer, right click on drive you want
to check, select properties, tools, check now under error-checking. You can
run chkdsk from a dos box if all you want is a report of / if there are any
errors; you can only use chkdsk to fix issues when you are in the recovery
console.

The new command is CHKDSK.

You can run it from windows explorer, right-click a drive letter,
properties, tools, error-checking.

You can also run it form a command prompt. Here the commands are:

CHKDSK C: to just check, but not fix
CHKDSK C: /F to check and fix; requires a reboot to take place
CHKDSK C: /R to check and fix more; also requires a reboot to take
