checkdisk on Windows 2000

English (EU) checkdisk on Windows 2000

Permalink 22:05:58, by Francois Planque Email , Categories: Technology

Every year or so, there comes a time where my W2K hard disk seems to fail in mysterious ways. Every time my reaction is the same: I desperately start searching the GUI for the disk checking tool. Damn it, where have they moved it in this version of Windows!?


It occurs to me that I have to learn this again and again: there is *no* GUI checkdisk in W2K (and this is most likely true for all 'NT' derivatives, XP etc...)


So this time I'm writing it down here, so maybe next year I will not have to rant at Windows for a couple of days before I find the answer! :roll:


You just gotta type this:

chkdsk d: /F /R
