I have disk problems and you said I should run CHKDSK. Great. What is that?
Fair enough. It’s easy for us computer geeks to take things for granted that we shouldn’t.
CHKDSK is a command line tool that checks disks.
I’ll talk about what I mean by command line, and what it means to check a disk.
I’ll also show you how to run CHKDSK step by step.
Checking a disk
Files on your Hard Disk Drive [HDD]
An HDD, or Hard Disk Drive, is typically a small box inside your computer that holds several metal disks coated with a magnetic material. They are not unlike a video or audio tape or the strip on the back of a credit card. The disk spins at a fairly high rate of speed, and special “heads” can read, or record, a pattern of bits (1s and 0s) on the magnetic surface. Those bits are assembled into bytes, which in turn are the files that you save, receive, or create.

A partition is a division of the area on a physical hard disk (or disk-like device) into one or more logical disks.

As you can imagine, things get pretty confusing. All that you probably care about is that you get what you expect when you access a file.
There’s a lot of information on the hard disk to help keep track of all of the data that’s being stored there. CHKDSK’s primary job is to make sure all of that administrative information about the files, folders, and other stuff stored on the disk is correct.
Normally, all of that information is correct. The system is designed to keep it correct from startup to shutdown.
Unfortunately, a variety of errors can cause it to be incorrect — things like not shutting down your computer properly, removing USB
USB is an acronym for Universal Serial Bus, a wired interface that allows multiple various devices to be connected to a computer using a common interface.

What’s a ‘command line’ tool?
Most programs in Windows appear as … well, as (or in) a window.
Command line tools do not. They don’t know about on-screen windows and don’t display their results in them. They rely on the Windows “Command Prompt”, which is nothing more than a non-windowed environment that mimics the days before Windows, when all programs were “command line” tools under MS-DOS.
INTRODUCTIONThe American Civil War is a unique part of American history that many Americans have strong feelings about.
Whether it's personal ties to the conflict, or just an admiration of the wars examples of fighting against the odds for what one believes is right, it's definitely a favorite of many American historians. The war was an internal conflict - a battle between two sects of what used to be the same nation. But although the war was unique by its own right and saw the first of several new ideas and military strategies, the admiration certainly isn't globally universal.
To run CHKDSK, we start with a Command Prompt.
Running CHKDSK
You’ll find Command Prompt in your Start menu. In Windows 10, right-click the Start menu, and it should be listed right there. You’ll want the “(Admin)” version so it runs with full administrative privileges.
You may instead see “Windows PowerShell” instead of Command Prompt. PowerShell will do for our purposes. Once again, be sure to run the “(Admin)” version.
In prior versions of Windows, you’ll find Command Prompt under All Programs – Accessories, or by searching for “Command”. Make sure to right-click on the entry and select “Run as Administrator”.
Running Command Prompt will open a new window that looks like this:
Command line tools are run by typing the command and pressing the Return or Enter key. Any output the tool generates shows up in the window below your typing.

Running CHKDSK
Try it now: after opening a Command Prompt window or clicking it to make it active, type CHKDSK followed by the Enter key.

you’ve not run Windows Command Prompt as administrator. Close Command Prompt (either by clicking the “x” in the upper-right of the Window, or typing “exit” followed by the Enter key), and start it again, this time being sure to select the “(Admin)” version listed, or right-clicking on the Command Prompt menu item and selecting “Run as administrator”.
Without any parameters (I’ll describe a few in a moment), CHKDSK does nothing more than check the disk. It won’t try to fix anything; it’ll simply report any problems it finds.
After displaying a fair amount of technical information about its progress, CHKDSK will finish with a report similar to this:
That first line is good news. If you want to see what precedes that, you can use the scroll bar to the right in the Command Prompt window.
CHKDSK parameters
By default, CHKDSK operates on the “current” disk, which in almost all of the cases would be C:. To have CHKDSK check a different drive, simply follow the CHKDSK command with a space and then the drive designator:
Would check your D: drive.
To have CHKDSK fix any problems it finds, you’d include the “/F” (Fix) parameter:
This would check the D: drive; if any errors were found, CHKDSK would attempt to repair them. Download platypus full version. The results would be included in the on-screen output.
Finally, the next most common action for CHKDSK is to actually check for bad sectors. That’s the “/R” (Repair) option:
When running /R, CHKDSK will check the entire disk surface for bad sectors and attempt once again to repair or work around any that it finds, if it can. Running /R also accomplishes /F as well.
The special case of C:
C: is special. (More correctly, your system drive is special, but in most cases, that’s C:.) The problem is that your system is using C:, and CHKDSK can’t repair things that are in use. Run CHKDSK /F on drive C: and you’re likely to see this:
Answer Y for Yes and then reboot
A reboot is the process of shutting down all running software on a machine, including the operating system itself, and then immediately reloading as if the machine had just been powered on.
A reboot differs from actually powering down the machine and turning it back on only in that the power is never turned off. The software simply acts as if the computer was shutting down completely, and then immediately acts as if it had just been powered on.
Reboots are common debugging and system-stabilization techniques, as they force the entire system back to a known initial state. (A power-off shutdown also includes resetting the hardware to a known initial state as well.) More information: Why do so many tech support solutions start with “reboot” or “turn it off”?

Common usage
The most common ways to use CHKDSK are:
- CHKDSK /F – to check and fix the current drive (a reboot might be required)
- CHKDSK D: /F – to check and fix a specific drive (in this case, D:)
- CHKDSK D: /R – to check, fix, and look for bad sectors on a specific drive
You can also run CHKDSK /? to get a list of additional options.
