In my opinion there must be a significant difference between the two programs. For example CHKDSK runs while the system is up but scan disk needs to have access to files that are normally being used while the system is running. Note that it only runs during the boot up process before almost nothing is loaded in memory. Also going back to my MS DOS days where scan disk was more superior of the two programs. This is not to say that CHKDSK doesn't have merit, for in fact it does or did in the past. So far as today is concerned I can't say for sure. In a nut shell to be more complete I would run scan disk myself, and actually I did just a little while ago. The things is now I have to find the log of what it did.

Hi, Just ran this. And it worked well and fast. However, wondering if it automatically fixed any errors like scandisk can be defaulted to do? Guess I'm wondering if there is a difference between scandisk and chkdsk.
