5-6 Utility Descriptions
If a
filename
is used, then CHKDSK displays all files matching that
specification that have noncontiguous data areas on the disk. Files that
are stored in noncontiguous areas, especially .EXE files, have slower
disk access times. If CHKDSK reports a large number of files with this
problem, you should use a utility program that optimizes the files and
frees space on your disk.
After checking the disk, CHKDSK displays any error messages followed
by a report on the state of the disk that was checked. An example of the
report is shown below.
Volume ROM-DOS created 11-09-2001 1:00a
Volume Serial Number is 190E-4AA2
362496 bytes total disk space
0 bytes in 1 hidden files
6144 bytes in 2 user files
356352 bytes available on disk
655360 bytes total memory
595360 bytes free
CHKDSK does not wait for a disk to be inserted before the checking is
initiated, nor does it repair any errors.
Examples
CHKDSK a:
Checks the integrity of drive A:. The report is printed to the console.
CHKDSK d: >drive_d.rpt
Checks the integrity of hard drive disk D. The report is saved in a file
named DRIVE_D.RPT.
