chkdsk-batch file for 4 parttitions

[B&P]

i want to make a batch file to run on startup, that is an icon on the
desktop i can click when i want to run chkdsk. i want to use the /f
switch so it will auto fix. there are 4 partitions. is it possible to
have xp-pro do this on start up, and check all four partitions with the
f switch at the same time. if so, what would the exact commands be in
the shortcut on the desktop?

thanks much
bob

Checkdisk is only useful for checking Windows XP system file
errors and correcting them. Therefore it is only useful to use
with the partition that Windows XP is actually installed on.

What util. do we use then to check and repair errors on other
partitions,(as in my case D-E-F-), as I did in 98se.

[Rick \Nutcase\ Rogers]

Carey,

Chkdsk is used to verify the integrity of the file system on a given
partition, not the integrity of the system files. You may be confusing this
with sfc. It is useful on any partition where there is a possible problem
with the file system integrity. It is not limited to the partition where the
system is installed.

Bob, there is no reason whatsoever to run chkdsk on every boot. Schedule it
to run when there is a problem, otherwise leave the drive alone.

Maybe you should read that KB article Carey, instead of just linking things
you "think" are the way you say they are! You obviously do not know
everything in how CHKDSK works (as well as XP period), as it is used to
perform the functions it does on any partition, not just the system
partition.
