CHKDSK

Checks a disk and displays a status report.


CHKDSK [drive:][[path]filename] [/F] [/V] [/R] [/L[:size]] [/I] [/C]


  [drive:]        Specifies the drive to check.
  filename        Specifies the file(s) to check for fragmentation (FAT only).
  /F              Fixes errors on the disk.
  /V              FAT only: Displays the full path and name of every file on
                  the disk.
  /R              Locates bad sectors and recovers readable information
                  (implies /F).
  /L:size         NTFS only:  changes the log file size to the specified number
                  of kilobytes.  If size is not specified, displays current
                  size.
  /I              NTFS only: Performs a less vigorous check of index entries.
  /C              NTFS only: Skips checking of cycles within the directory
                  tree.

The /I or /C switch reduces the amount of time required to run chkdsk by
skipping certain checks of the volume.
