In computing, CHKDSK (short for "check disk") is a system tool and command in DOS, Digital Research FlexOS, [1] IBM/Toshiba 4690 OS, [2] IBM OS/2, [3] Microsoft Windows and related operating systems. It verifies the file system integrity of a volume and attempts to fix logical file system errors.
CHKDSK verifies a storage volume (for example, a hard disk, disk partition or floppy disk) for file system integrity. The command has the ability to fix errors on a volume and recover information from defective disk sectors of a volume. The command is available in MS-DOS versions 1 and later. [1]
If you ask Microsoft support, they tell you the CHKDSK log can be found in the event viewer. They don't tell you that it is truncated there at 16kB and the full log file is in "System Volume Information" (Windows 7), a hidden directory no admin is allowed to read by default. 185.44.151.5 09:58, 30 July 2015 (UTC)
If file data or metadata become corrupt, the file can be deleted without taking the whole volume offline for maintenance, and then be restored from the backup. As a result of built-in resiliency, administrators do not need to periodically run error-checking tools such as CHKDSK when using ReFS.
While without deliberate remapping, the drive letter assignments are typically fixed until the next reboot, however, Zenith MS-DOS 3.21 will update the drive letter assignments when resetting a drive. This may cause drive letters to change without reboot if the partitioning of the harddisk was changed.
