CHKDSK (cont.)

/C allows CHKDSK to correct errors without user confirmation. This
option must be used along with the /F option for corrections to be
made.

/V causes CHKDSK to display each path and file as it is processed.

If a file specification is entered, then CHKDSK displays all matching
files that have non-contiguous data areas on the disk. Files stored in
non-contiguous areas, especially .EXE files, have slower disk access
times. If CHKDSK reports a large number of files with this problem,
use a utility program to optimize the files and free space on your disk.

After checking the disk, CHKDSK displays any error messages followed
by a report on the state of the disk that was checked.

An example of the report is shown below:

Volume ROM-DOS created June 1,1990 1:00a

Volume Serial Number is 190E-4AA2

362496

bytes total disk space

0

bytes in 1 hidden files

6144

bytes in 2 user files

356352

bytes available on disk

655360

bytes total memory

595360

bytes free

CHKDSK does not wait for a disk to be inserted before the checking is
initiated, nor does it repair any errors.

Examples

CHKDSK a:

Checks the integrity of drive A and prints the report to the console.
