The chkdsk command on Windows XP. CHKDSK can be run from DOS prompt, Windows Explorer, Windows Command Prompt, Windows PowerShell or Recovery Console. [10] On Windows NT operating systems, CHKDSK can also check the disk surface for bad sectors and mark them (in MS-DOS 6.x and Windows 9x, this is a task done by Microsoft ScanDisk).
In addition, the System File Checker utility (sfc.exe) was reimplemented as a more robust command-line utility that integrated with WFP. Unlike the Windows 98 SFC utility, the new utility forces a scan of protected system files using Windows File Protection and allows the immediate silent restoration of system files from the DLLCache folder or ...
The command is available in MS-DOS versions 4 and later and DR DOS releases 5.0 and later. [1] On earlier DOS versions the memory usage could be shown by running CHKDSK. In DR DOS the parameter /A could be used to only show the memory usage.
There is no safe way to stop it. Some people reported it ran continuously for several days. Let a Windows 7 CHKDSK "correct" a Windows XP NTFS partition and the latter doesn't work anymore due to missing system files and changes of security descriptors. If you ask Microsoft support, they tell you the CHKDSK log can be found in the event viewer.
However, ScanDisk cannot check NTFS disk drives, and therefore it is unavailable for computers that may be running NT based (including Windows 2000, Windows XP, etc.) versions of Windows; for the purpose, a newer CHKDSK is provided instead. On Unix-like systems, there are tools like fsck_msdosfs [8] and dosfsck to do the same task.

Researchers at the Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine say that individuals experiencing accelerated aging may benefit from earlier screenings.
The key design advantages of ReFS include automatic integrity checking and data scrubbing, elimination of the need for running chkdsk, protection against data degradation, built-in handling of hard disk drive failure and redundancy, integration of RAID functionality, a switch to copy/allocate on write for data and metadata updates, handling of ...
