Syntax
chkdsk [volume:] [[Path] FileName] [/ f] [/ v] [/ r] [/ x] [/ i] [/ c] [/ l [: size]]
Settings
volume:
Specifies the drive letter (followed by colon), mount point or volume name.
[Path] FileName
Specifies the location and name of the files that chkdsk should check fragmentation. To designate multiple files, you can use wildcards (? And *).
/f
Corrects errors on the disc. The disk must be locked. If chkdsk can not lock the drive, a message appears asking if you want to check the drive the next time you start the computer.
/v
Displays the name of all files in all directories as the disc is verified.
/r
Detects bad sectors and recovers readable information. The disk must be locked.
/x
Use with NTFS only. Force the dismantling of the volume in the first place, if necessary. All descriptors open drive are invalidated. Furthermore, / x integrates the functionality of / f.
/i
Use with NTFS only. Performs a less rigorous check of index entries, reducing the execution time of chkdsk.
/c
Use with NTFS only. Does not review cycles within the folder structure, reducing the execution time of chkdsk.
/l [: size]
Use with NTFS only. Limits the size of the log file as you type. If you omit the size parameter, / l displays the current size.
/?
Displays of support for command prompt.
