Windows 10: How do I run chkdsk

Well, a 4Gb drive is tiny. So what could it be? It says it's removable- so I guess a flash drive. It's FAT32...

Is it as simple as that? Is there something plugged into a USB port?

 

The Disk Management screenshot says Disk 1's name is STORE N GO, so one of these?

Nope.

 

Nope. Well, your Disk Management screenshot clearly shows disk 1 as D: 'removable' and called STORE N GO - it has all the hallmarks of a 4GB Verbatim Store 'n' Go USB. Perhaps it's a ghost in the system left over from when one was previously plugged in.

Try opening Device Manager and on the View menu select 'show hidden devices'. Uninstall any 'Verbatim USB' you find under 'Disk drives'.

 

It's my CD drive. I checked and it fine. I guess I do need to run chddsk on my laptop. Can you tell me how?

 

It's my CD drive. I checked and it fine.... It's not your CD as far as I can see, it appears to be something else in addition to the CD. Your screenshot clearly shows three drives, Disk 0 as C: - Disk 1 as D: removable STORE N GO - and CD ROM 0 as DVD E: (no media).

Open an elevated command prompt. I presume you want to check this D: drive, as in post #1 you said...

...that command was not correct, there's a '/' requires before F and there should be no spaces after each '/'.

To fix errors it should be...
Chkdsk D: /F

To fix errors and check for bad blocks it's...
Chkdsk D: /F /R

The optional /X can be added to force the volume to dismount first if necessary.

 

If it's removable drive then I have nothing to worry about, right. I have several USB ports and the CD drive which I've already checked and it was OK.
