Hello guys,

I'm confuse to do a chkdsk in DOS and have the DOS checked for any ERRORS and repair those errors do I need to type /f /r or is it -p -r

Thank you!! Quote

SwitchEffect

filename


FAT only. Specifies the file or set of files to check for fragmentation. Wildcard characters (* and ?) are allowed.

path


FAT only. Specifies the location of a file or set of files WITHIN the folder structure of the volume.

size


NTFS only. Changes the LOG file size to the specified number of kilobytes. Must be used with the /l switch.

volume


FAT only. Specifies the drive letter (followed by a COLON), mount point, or volume name.

/c


NTFS only. Skips checking of cycles within the folder structure.

/f


Fixes errors on the volume. The volume must be locked. If Chkdsk cannot lock the volume, it offers to check it the next time the computer starts.

/i


NTFS only. Performs a less vigorous check of index entries.

/l


NTFS only. Displays current size of the log file.

/r


Locates bad sectors and recovers readable information (implies /f ). If Chkdsk cannot lock the volume, it offers to check it the next time the computer starts.

/v


On FAT. Displays the full path and name of every file on the volume.
On NTFS. Displays cleanup messages, if any.

/x


NTFS only. Forces the volume to dismount first, if necessary. All opened HANDLES to the volume are then invalid (implies /f ).
