  2. Just Formatted HD - Should I Run ChkDsk

    Full format effectively performs chkdsk as well. There's no reason to run chkdsk after a full format. Quick format, yes. On NTFS, there's really no reason to run chkdsk unless there's problems with file integrity. NTFS keeps track of it automatically.

    Formatting USB stick/usb hdd issues

    Drive has probably failed. Try this.

    Run admin command prompt and type

    diskpart

    list disk

    select disk n (n is number of usb drive)

    clean (wipes drive - do not select wrong drive!)

    create partition primary

    select partition 1

    format fs=ntfs quick

    assign

    exit

    exit

    If any step fails, drive has almost certainly failed.

    Chkdsk shows errors after formatting the usb stick

    In order to reproduce the problem, I am doing the following steps:

    • I put a text file with a single line of text on the usb file.
    • I plug in a USB stick to a PC and in the explorer window I go to the usb stick drive.
    • I double-click on the text file and open it in notepad.
    • I close the notepad.
    • I the explorer I go to the one level up and I click the right button on the USB drive and choose the properties->format.
    • I formatted the disk with default proposed parameters (FAT32).

    The disk is empty after formatting. At the command line prompt window, I type the chkdsk and the letter of the USB drive and I am receiving information that errors have been found (Convert lost chains to files (y/n)?).

    I checked it with various usb sticks and different systems (Windows 7, 8, 10) and I got the same results.
