Time to read the Win 2K/XP resource kits, if you want to be a MVP.

Chkdsk is not based on DOS. Everything in NT is written in C, not ASM, for one
thing.

ChkDsk is inadequate and IMO is unfit for use, period. Users in the
21st century deserve better than a tool dating from DOS 5 or older.

If it is not allowed to "fix" automatically, it is known to return
spurious errors when checking a volume that is in use. Most PCs are
setup as one big C: that is always in use. Join the dots.

Of course there is a tool to override autochk defaults.
