CHKDSK
Analyzes the files and directories on a disk
See also <RECOVER>
CHKDSK checks the disk directory for self consistency and displays the
total and available disk and RAM memory.
COMMAND TYPE: External VERSION: 2.0 and up
USE: CHKDSK [d:][path][filename] [/F][/V]
d: path filename specifies a filename to check. If a filename is
specified, CHKDSK will report the number of non-contiguous areas
occupied by the file. Access to non-contiguous (fragmented) files may be
significantly slower than to contiguous files. Perform a <BACKUP>
and <RESTORE> to correct this situation
/F corrects errors found in the directory and in the file allocation
table. Other errors are noted, but not corrected. The user is
prompted whether to allow each chain of lost clusters to be
converted into a valid file. These files will be named with the
following naming convention:
FILEnnnn.CHK where nnnn is a four digit number starting with 0000.
/V displays all paths and filenames on the specified drive.
