Guest void.no.spam.com@gmail.com Posted April 4, 2008 Posted April 4, 2008 If you get a BSOD, is it necessary to do a chkdsk? What would be the consequence of not doing a chkdsk?

Any errors your file system has may snowball over time until there are serious errors and/or corruption occurs, so, for example the OS won't load, or some program may crash consistently because one of it's DLL's is damaged. You can run chkdsk from a command prompt and it will notify you if you have any errors that need fixing. Typing chkdsk will run in read-only mode, so it won't do any harm. Running chkdsk after a crash isn't a bad idea, as some file/file system corruption may occur as a result of the crash.
Guest Gerry Posted April 4, 2008 Posted April 4, 2008 Re: Is it necessary to do a CHKDSK? It would depend on the nature of the BSOD. What is the Stop Error message? -- Hope this helps.
