use the command to examine their hard drives for errors and repair them if necessary. Here’s how to chkdsk /r windows 10 run CHKDSK in Windows 10. Check out these awesome custom engraved Corkcircle Canteens from Perfect Etch. Even in Windows 10, the CHKDSK command is run via the Command Prompt, but we'll need to https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd637756.aspx use administrative privileges to properly access it. To launch a Command Prompt as an Administrator, press the keyboard shortcut Windows Key + X to bring up the power users menu, then let go of those two keys and tap the A key. Alternatively, with the power users menu open you can use your mouse or trackpad to select the Command Prompt (Admin) option. You'll https://www.tekrevue.com/tip/fix-hard-drives-chkdsk-windows-10/ be presented with a UAC window requesting permission to launch the Command Prompt as Administrator. Click Yes to proceed and you'll see a new Command Prompt window. You can verify that you've successfully granted the Command Prompt administrative privileges by ensuring that "Administrator: Command Prompt" is present in the window's title bar. From the Command Prompt, type the command “chkdsk” followed by a space, then the letter of the drive you wish to examine or repair. In our case, it’s internal drive “C.” Simply running the CHKDSK command in Windows 10 will only display the disk’s status, and won’t fix any errors present on the volume. To tell CHKDSK to fix the drive, we need to give it parameters. After your drive letter, type the following parameters separated by a space each: “/f /r /x”. The “/f” parameter tells CHKDSK to fix any errors it finds; “/r” tells it to locate the bad sectors on the drive and recover readable information; “/x” forces the drive to dismount before the process starts. Additional parameters are available for more specialized tasks, and are detailed at Microsoft’s TechN

Here’s how to run CHKDSK in Windows 8. Check out these awesome custom engraved Corkcircle Canteens from Perfect Etch. Related: Running Windows 10? Find instructions for CHKDSK here. First, launch the Start Screen by pressing the Windows key or clicking the lower left corner of the Taskbar. From the Start Screen, search for the Windows Command Prompt by typing windows 10 “cmd”. Right-click on the Command Prompt and choose “Run as Administrator” from the bar at the bottom of the screen. After authenticating as an administrative user, you’ll be at the Windows Command Prompt, a familiar interface for users who remember the days before Windows NT. Type the command “chkdsk” followed by a space, then the letter of the drive you wish to examine or repair. In our case, it’s external drive “L.” Simply running the CHKDSK chkdsk commands windows command will only display the disk’s status, and won’t fix any errors present on the volume. To tell CHKDSK to fix the drive, we need to give it parameters. After your drive letter, type the following parameters separated by a space each: “/f /r /x” The “/f” parameter tells CHKDSK to fix any errors it finds; “/r” tells it to locate the bad sectors on the drive and recover readable information; “/x” forces the drive to dismount before the process starts. Additional parameters are available for more specialized tasks, and are detailed at Microsoft’s TechNet site. To summarize, the full command that should be typed into the Command Prompt is: chkdsk [Drive:] [parameters] In our example, it’s: chkdsk L: /f /r /x Note that CHKDSK needs to be able to lock the drive, meaning that it cannot be used to examine the system’s boot drive if the computer is in use. In our example, the target drive is an external disk so the CHKDSK process will begin as soon as we enter the command above. If the target drive is a boot disk, the system will ask you if you’d like to run the command before the next boot. Type “yes,” restart the computer, and the command will run before the operating system loads, allowing it to gain full access to the disk. A CH
