Start -> Help & Support Center.

Chkdsk
Creates and displays a status report for the disk. The
chkdsk command also lists and corrects errors on the disk.

The chkdsk command with the parameters listed below is
only available when you are using the Recovery Console.
The chkdsk command with different parameters is available
from the command prompt.

chkdsk [drive:] [/p] [/r]

Parameters

none

Used without parameters, chkdsk displays the status of
the disk in the current drive.

drive:

Specifies the drive that you want chkdsk to check.

/p

Performs an exhaustive check even if the drive is not
marked for chkdsk to run. This parameter does not make
any changes to the drive.

/r

Locates bad sectors and recovers readable information.
Implies /p.

Note

The chkdsk command requires the file Autochk.exe. If it
cannot find it in the startup directory (\%systemroot%
\System32, by default), it will attempt to locate it on
the Windows Installation CD. If you have a multiboot
computer, be sure you are issuing this command from the
drive containing Windows.

Command prompt (or in a "DOS" window: chkdsk e:

As with most commands in the "DOS" window, you can see a mini-Help file by
just typing at the prompt: chkdsk /?

options.

Alternatively, double-click My Computer > right-click the desired
hard drive or partition > Properties > Tools > Error-checking/Check
Now. This will run Chkdsk, normally on the next reboot
