- COMMAND: CHKDSK (Check Disk)
-
- FUNCTION: Analyzes the directories and the File Allocation Table on the
- designated drive and produces a disk and memory status report.
-
- FORMAT: CHKDSK [d:][path][filename[.ext]][/F][/V]
-
- TYPE: DOS external command
-
- REMARKS: /F fixes any errors found in the directory or File Allocation Table.
- The default is to report on any errors found but to not actually
- correct them.
- /V displays all files and their paths on the default or specified
- drive.
- Specifying a file name displays the number of non-contiguous areas
- occupied by the file or files in the current directory. A diskette
- to be checked is assumed to be already in the specified drive. If
- lost clusters are found, and the /F option is specified, and you
- respond that you want to recover them into files, each chain of lost
- clusters is recovered into a file called FILEnnnn.CHK in the root
- directory, where nnnn is a sequence number from 0000-9999.
