Detailed parameter description:
CHKDSK [volume[[path]filename]]] [/F] [/V] [/R] [/X] [/I] [/C] [/L[:size]]
volume specifies the drive (followed by a colon), mount point, or volume name.
filename FAT/FAT32 only: Specifies the file to check for fragmentation.
/F Repairs errors on disk.
/V on FAT/FAT32: Displays the full path and name of each file on the disk.
On NTFS: If there is a cleanup message, display it.
/R Find incorrect sectors and restore readable information (implies /F).
/L:size NTFS only: Changes the log file size to the specified number of KB.
If no size is specified, the current size is displayed.
/X If necessary, force the volume to be dismounted first.
All open handles to the volume will be invalidated (implies /F).
/I NTFS only: Performs less intensive checking of index entries.
/C NTFS only: Skips loop checking of folder structures.
The /I and /C command-line switches skip certain checks of volumes, reducing the time required to run Chkdsk.
If you find it too troublesome to enter the command code in the command prompt window, you can use a software tool with a graphical interface to operate it. Click to download the hard disk chkdsk repair tool.
