Chkdsk runs twice?

[Guest void.no.spam.com@gmail.com]

If I tell Windows to do a chkdsk on my C drive and D drive on restart,

and then I restart my computer, it will chkdsk the D drive and then

chkdsk the C drive, and then it will restart again and then chkdsk the

D drive again before finally loading up Windows. Is it normal for it

to chkdsk the D drive twice? Is it safe to tell it to skip the second

chkdsk of the D drive?

Not generally normal, unless there is some message associated with the

second disk check.

 

If you cancel the second check it will just ask you again the next time you

boot.

 

There is generally no reason you can't check non system disks in windows, if

you are doing /f or /r switch you won't be able to use the drive, but it can

be a time saver.

 

Also there is no reason to run chkdsk /f, you can just run chkdsk and if

there are errors reported, fix them but otherwise there is no gain by

running chkdsk /f for no reason.

I'll see if that happens when I reboot next time then.

Is it quicker to run "chkdsk" instead of "chkdsk /f"? Otherwise I'd

just run "chkdsk /f" because sometimes the chkdsk output disappears so

fast that I don't see what it says.

chkdsk (no switches) is audit only

 

if you have problems which need to be fixed you'll have to run chkdsk /f or

chkdsk /r

I restarted and it did not ask me again.
