Chkdsk
 

How would I go about running 'CHKDSK on partition 1'?
The reason that I ask is because I tried to defrag my wifes laptop and it won't allow me to saying: "defragmentation of partition 1 (C:) has been cancelled due to inconsistencies that were detected in the files system......"
Somebody please help.... :confused: :(

Two ways.

1. go into my computer , right click on the drive you want to check , select tools and then click scandisk (scandisk is chkdsk on xp) tick both boxes and reboot if prompted.... Thats it !

2. get a command prompt up and type chkdsk C: /f (or whatever drive)

HTH

EDIT - Argggg Swoop101 got me this time :( :D

Just to resurrect this thread, can you guys recommend an alternative (free of course) to chkdsk, as I'm finding that I have an error on my first partition that chkdsk /f just cant seem to fix, it goes through the motions but then when I run it again it still says that there are errors :(

Norton Systemworks (used to be known as Disk Doctor), it's not free, but it's the only one I know of, but you might be able to get a trial version.

Thanks I'll see if I can find a trial version :)

chkdsk? Crumbs. I thought that went out with the Ark - replaced by scandisk? Haven't used chkdsk in years - takes me back to my early college days :)
