		The chkdsk command is an external command and is available in the below Microsoft Operating Systems.
		Chkdsk may be used without any parameters, in which case the current drive is checked with no switches.

	chkdsk
		To issue chkdsk on a hard drive you must be a member of the Administrators group.
		If you use chkdsk /f on a very large disk or a disk with a very large number of files (millions), chkdsk may take a long time to complete.
		Chkdsk times are determined by the number of files on the volume and by the number of files in the largest folder.

	CHKDSK - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		CHKDSK (command shortening of Checkdisk) is a command in DOS and Microsoft Windows systems which verifies a hard disk or a floppy disk for file system integrity.
		When used under Windows with the /F or the /R parameter, CHKDSK usually cannot run immediately, because there are open files on the disk.
		Under Windows, CHKDSK can be run both from a console window, as a command with flags and from My Computer application using visual interface.

	DOS Command: CHKDSK
		By using the /F option, you tell CHKDSK to find any of these parts of files or programs that have become separated from the rest of the file, to create a new file for each, and to write the lost segment to these files.
		If CHKDSK finds lost clusters (parts of files or programs that have become separated from the rest of the file) it will write the lost segment to new files and provide the filename FILEnnnn (nnnn will be a number starting with 0000).
		The first four lines of this display refer to the disk you specified: they indicate the total disk space (the storage capacity of the disk), the number of hidden (system) files stored on the disk, the number of user files stored on the disk, and the amount of storage space still remaining to be used.

	Windows NT: restoring faults from chkdsk results
		Chkdsk must be able to lock the drive to correct errors.
		Chkdsk assumes that while he chain of clusters making up a file is still intact the directory info has been lost.
		That is why chkdsk does not have any ability to recover the filename, because if the directory info was intact there was no need for chkdsk to create the found.xxx files.

	Microsoft Windows XP - Chkdsk
		To run chkdsk on a fixed disk, you must be a member of the Administrators group.

		Chkdsk displays a status report, and then lists the files matching the file specification that have noncontiguous blocks.

	Using the CHKDSK command (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		CHKDSK (for "check disk") is an MS-DOS command that examines the hard disk drive and reports certain common errors.
		The most common errors found by CHKDSK are lost clusters, cross-linked files, and allocation errors.
		The last line of the CHKDSK report shows how much conventional memory is free, and this number is important for running the Quicken program.

	CHKDSK--Notes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		CHKDSK is designed for use when the files on the disk are in an unchanging state -- that is, when they are not open.
		If you run CHKDSK when files are open on the disk, it interprets differences between the directory structure and the file allocation tables as errors.
		If CHKDSK finds a cross-linked file, it displays a message similar to the following: andltFile is cross linked on allocation unit Some of the information in these files or directories has been lost.

	Vernon Frazee: MS-DOS v6.22 Help: CHKDSK
		Cross-Linked Files CHKDSK reports a cross-linked file if two files or directories are recorded as using the same disk space.
		If CHKDSK finds a cross-linked file, it displays a message similar to the following: is cross linked on allocation unit Some of the information in these files or directories has been lost.
		To redirect the output of CHKDSK to a file named STATUS, type the following command: chkdsk a: > status Because the output is redirected, MS-DOS does not repair errors it encounters during the check; but it records all the errors in a report file.

	about chkdsk
		Chkdsk is a very time consuming process, especially on large hard drives.
		Because chkdsk is a separate, "external" program, you have to copy chkdsk.exe to the floppy after you format it.
		I'd type in chkdsk E:/r (for example) and instead of the 3 step process, it would do a 5 step process in that it checks the file data and the free space in addition to the partition,, file structures, indexes and security descriptors.

	[VBnet WMI] Invoking Chkdsk using WMI

	Chkdsk runs ... but can't see it - Tech Support Guy Forums
		If the volume is no longer dirty, reboot and chkdsk should not reappear.
		"Chkdsk /f" forces Chkdsk to run whether or not the flag is dirty--- it's a way to ensure that errors are fixed, regardless of what the flag says.
		"Chkdsk /x" goes a little further and helps ensure that any files that were left open get closed; it actually implies "/f" so you don't need the /f if you're using /x.

		SCANDISK can reliably detect and fix a much wider range of disk problems and is generally preferred to the somewhat dated CHKDSK.
		CHKDSK cannot be used on drives created using SUBST.

		When I schedule a chkdsk and run safe mode it do something (my hd is working) but I don't get any message on the screen.

		The reason I'm interested is that when I run chkdsk in the normal console window after xp comes up it still says "Windows found problems with the file system" (this after several rounds of having chkdsk /F (I assume it is running as /F) run at boot time).

	Chkdsk Error Recovery. Recover hard disks involving Scandisk and Chkdsk Error in Windows 98/NT/2000/XP/2003
		Programs such as Scandisk, Chkdsk and Fsck are software utilities that are designed to find different types of errors and correct some file system errors on hard disks.
		Among other things, Scandisk checks the disk platters for defects and also looks for lost clusters that are sometimes created when a program aborts.
		As mentioned in the above paragraph, Scandisk, Chkdsk and Fsck are software utilities that are designed to correct file system errors on hard disks.

		BTW the /p does work but it is only on the chkdsk in the recovery console.
		Are there any programs like this for XP that have something resembling the dos scandisk UI, it's just I liked it's display, showing you what clusters were used or bad etc (I always used the dos scandisk that came with win9x because it showed me what was going on, I didn't like the windows version).
		Yes, chkdsk from the Recovery Console only has the /p and /r options available, where /p has the functionality of /F from the Command Prompt chkdsk, and /r is equivalent to /R from the Command Prompt chkdsk (actually, letter case doesn't matter in any of these switches as far as I know).
