Running CHKDSK through My Computer:
Open My Computer. Right click your mouse on the drive in which you want CHKDSK to run. Click the Properties button and click the Tools tab. In the Error-checking box, click the Check Now button.
Set up the Check Disk options by checking one or both check boxes displayed. These are labeled("automatically fix file system errors" and "scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors")
If you want CHKDSK to run in read-only mode, do not check ("scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors") After this, click the Start button.
What is the difference between CHKDSK c:/r and CHKDSK c:/p commands?
ReplyDeleteHello there!!, well there is no difference between these two commands that you have mentioned, either of these can be used to execute the command.
ReplyDeleteI have scheduled CHKDSK once on my system. When I rebooted the system it performed CHKDSK. Now every time I reboot the system is again performining CHKDSK even though i havent scheduled. How to avoid this. I badly require support to resolve this issue.
ReplyDelete@Mohammad Dar, chkdsk [drive:] [/p] [/r]
ReplyDeletedrive: = This is the drive letter of the partition you want check for errors.
/p = This option instructs chkdsk to perform an extensive check of the drive and correct any errors.
/r = This option instructs chkdsk to locate bad sectors and recover any readable information from them.
