- CHKDSK
- Analyzes the files and directories on a disk
- See also <RECOVER>
-
- CHKDSK checks the disk directory for self consistency and displays the
- total and available disk and RAM memory.
-
- COMMAND TYPE: External VERSION: 2.0 and up
-
- USE: CHKDSK [d:][path][filename] [/F][/V]
-
- d: path filename specifies a filename to check. If a filename is
- specified, CHKDSK will report the number of non-contiguous areas
- occupied by the file. Access to non-contiguous (fragmented) files may be
- significantly slower than to contiguous files. Perform a <BACKUP>
- and <RESTORE> to correct this situation
- /F corrects errors found in the directory and in the file allocation
- table. Other errors are noted, but not corrected. The user is
- prompted whether to allow each chain of lost clusters to be
- converted into a valid file. These files will be named with the
- following naming convention:
- FILEnnnn.CHK where nnnn is a four digit number starting with 0000.
- /V displays all paths and filenames on the specified drive.
