chkdsk c: /F

We appreciate the response. I'm referring to Check Disk (chkdsk) utility tool. If you haven't tried yet, we suggest that you run a chkdsk by:

• Press Windows Key + X button to bring up the power user menu.
• In the power user menu, select the Command Prompt (Admin) option.Click Yes when you are presented with a UAC window requesting permission to launch the Command Prompt as Administrator.
• In the new Command Prompt window, type chkdsk E: /f /r /x. Here you should replace E with your drive letter.

This option will run chkdsk to check and repair disk errors in Windows 10. The “/f” parameter tells CHKDSK to fix any errors it finds; “/r” tells it to locate the bad sectors on the drive and recover readable information; “/x” forces the drive to dismount
before the process starts.

Keep us updated with the result.

 

A question about the difference between CHKDSK, CHKDSK /F and CHKDSK /scan

Really? According to CHKDSK /? or help, only CHKDSK /R does look for bad sectors, CHKDSK /F does not, only for file and folder structure errors.

I did some research and come to conclusion that:

1. CHKDSK command alone, like CHKDSK C: will just check the disk but it will not attempt to repair any error found.

2. CHKDSK /F will check the disk and try to correct any error found.

3. CHKDSK /F /R (according to CHKDSK /? or help CHKDSK /R implies /F even if parameter /F is not set) will check the disk, try to correct any error found and locate bad sector and recover readable information from bad sectors.

Still I don't quite understand CHKDSK /scan. I guess it is a less thorough scan than CHKDSK /F, since can be performed as online scan without the need to reboot. But what exactIy is the difference between CHKDSK /F and CHKDSK /scan?
