the Start Screen, search for the Windows Command Prompt by typing “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 chkdsk external hard drive repair drive you wish to examine or repair. In our case, it’s external drive “L.” Simply running the CHKDSK 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

RSS ALL ARTICLES FEATURES ONLY TRIVIA Search How-To Geek The How-To Geek Guide to Using Check Disk in Windows 7, 8, or 10 Anytime somebody has hard drive errors, I always recommend that they run chkdsk—what geek wouldn’t? Here’s a full guide to using the Check Disk feature built into every version of Windows. The chkdsk or "Check Disk" utility is used in Windows to scan through your entire hard drive and find problems… it's like a lot like doing inventory… it's boring, but it has to be done sometimes. I recommend that you run through a check disk every month or two. This works the same in Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, or Windows 10, so while the screens may look slightly different in each version, they are all in the same place. Image by Nemo Using CheckDisk the GUI Way Open up Computer and then right-click on the drive you want to check, and choose Properties, or just click the drive, and then click the Properties button. Then select the Tools tab, and click the "Check Now" button. A little dialog will pop up to allow you to choose the options you want for the disk check. You should check both options if you want to really check the disk properly, but if you just want to do a quick check you could select only the first one. The only problem with that is that Windows can't check a drive that's being used, such as the system drive, but Windows will let you schedule a disk check for the next reboot. You should keep in mind that running through a full check disk takes quite a while, sometimes hours depending on how big the drive is and how many files you have. Cancelling the Scheduled Disk Check If you had scheduled a disk check but decided you would like to cancel it, you can run a command to stop it. Open up an administrator mode command prompt by searching in the Start menu or screen for "cmd" and then right-clicking on the item and choosing "Run as Administrator". Type in the following command, substituting the drive letter if necessary. chkntfs /x c: Seems like they could have a better command line output… something like "canceled!" would have even worked… oh well. How to Tell if a Manual Disk Check is Scheduled Open an admin mode command prompt, and then type in the following command: chkntfs c: How to Tell if an Automatic Disk Ch
