| 77109 | 2002-09-06 17:07:00 | Hi, I've got my 40gb hard drive into 11 partitions. What I want to know is what command can I use to allow me to check the volume for errors on all my partitions at once? Without the need to go to My Computer-Tools-Check Now->"Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors" for each hard drive? Some of my partitions are using the FAT32 system. Entirely, most use NTFS. Is there a command that anyone knows of an can give me an example? Most appreciated if you have any ideas Sandy Beach |

| 77114 | 2002-09-07 23:30:00 | You could write a quick batch file that runs chkdsk on all the drives and pipes the output to a text file for you to examine later. eg echo Checking Partition C: >C:\chkdsklog.txt chkdsk c: >>chkdsklog.txt echo Checking Partition D: >>C:\chkdsklog.txt chkdsk d: >>chkdsklog.txt you can also specify /R for surface scan and /F to fix errors, however you can't do this on a drive containing the OS that is running at the time, or one containing a pagefile that is in use at the time. note: use > to pipe output to a new fie, >> to append onto the end. Once you have your batch file you can then schedule it to run automatically with the task scheduler. |
