Checks a disk and displays a status report.
CHKDSK [volume[[path]filename]]] [/F] [/V] [/R] [/X] [/I] [/C] [/
L[:size]] [/B]
volume Specifies the drive letter (followed by a colon),
mount point, or volume name.
filename FAT/FAT32 only: Specifies the files to check for
fragmentation.
/F Fixes errors on the disk.
/V On FAT/FAT32: Displays the full path and name of
every file
on the disk.
On NTFS: Displays cleanup messages if any.
/R Locates bad sectors and recovers readable
information
(implies /F).
/L:size NTFS only: Changes the log file size to the
specified number
of kilobytes. If size is not specified, displays
current
size.
/X Forces the volume to dismount first if necessary.
All opened handles to the volume would then be
invalid
(implies /F).
/I NTFS only: Performs a less vigorous check of index
entries.
/C NTFS only: Skips checking of cycles within the
folder
structure.
/B NTFS only: Re-evaluates bad clusters on the volume
(implies /R)
The /I or /C switch reduces the amount of time required to run Chkdsk
by
skipping certain checks of the volume.
