CHKDSK is a checking tool is used to scan a drive for errors and, if possible, correct or delete corrupted file bits.
To
tell CHKDSK to fix the drive, we need to give it parameters. After your drive
letter, type the following parameters separated by a space each: “/f /r /x”.

| CHKDSK COMMAND |
The “/f” parameter tells CHKDSK to fix any
errors it finds; “/r” tells it to locate the bad sectors on the drive and
recover readable information; “/x” forces the drive to dismount before the
process starts. Additional parameters are available for more specialized tasks,

We’ll also talk about running it from the
Command Prompt.
Note that CHKDSK needs to be able to lock
the drive, meaning that it cannot be used to examine the system’s boot drive if
the computer is in use.
It’s a fantastic exciting too and running it can
really help prevent bigger problems and loss of data in the long run and
